What an insufferably smug post. But anyway, Mastodon exists as a good Twitter alternative, and it's not made by alt-righters. It's decentralized so no company or politically-motivated group can censor it.

College demand is insanely high because of education inflation. Employers require a college degree for most white-collar jobs. I think a better solution would be to rework college. It doesn't make sense that you need a four-year degree
