So some cool things to note - Weigh-ins are fucking wild and I loved taking all the body notes. Planning to release some articles about it. - Joe Brady, conductor of the LSU buzzsaw, sat about 15 feet to my right during the practices. - Sean Payton walked into the tiny hole-in-the-wall pizza place I was eating at last night. - I sat and watched tape beside Reggie McKenzie in the XOS film room.

That is not his argument. His argument is an EXTREMELY common one. The entire crux of it is why does the person who puts in work reap benefits that are equal to or less than someone who doesn’t. He is asking why should he not get rewarded for doing the work but someone who doesn’t will get the same benefit (paid college) for none of the work. If parents can’t pay for the kids who are benefitting from the education the person who is benefitting from the education should. Are the kids getting suckered or being stupid? Again where are the parents to help them navigate these things? Who are you to say how much college should be pushed? Do you not have a degree you are currently using? Or do they just let guys walk into a pharmacy and hand out scripts? I wish they would push trades more, I think it is every bit as valid a career path as anything. But to say college is over pushed is kind of dumb considering the benefits it can add to your life.

You missed what he is saying. There is no incentive to pay your own way or your kids if being fiscally irresponsible reaps more rewards. That is the dude’s point. His argument is logically sound. colleges should be paid for by those who will benefit from it, not the taxpayers. now should the system be redone? sure. does that mean it should be free? No. Warren is a Fucking idiot which is sad , because I used to be a fan.

Did you watch or read that tweet at all? lol. He isn't talking about himself. He's comparing his own situation where he worked shit jobs and shifts and saved money to afford sending his daughter to school to that of a friend of his who made more and didn't save who would be bailed out by Warren. I think he is a lot more of a "regular person" than his friend is. And the bubble may not have burst yet, but you are already seeing some of that. Millennials aren't buying houses is just one example.

who is gonna offer you a job first? You better be talking some of these people up!

This is exciting

No its not. His argument is literally "I had to pay my kids way, so everyone else should always have to as well." In other words- diverting the trolley disrespects the people its already killed, to use the metaphor. What about parents who can't pay off their kids loans? What about kids who get suckered into loans they have no business going into? What about the fact that college is pushed a ridiculous deal in this country when it shouldn't be?
