We need separate systems, one for actually learning without financial pressure, and one for joining the workforce - before anyone brings up College/Uni as the solution, they can be if transformed but as of right now there are too many in Uni doing so to get a job.
When you have a system organized around the morality of work and not working ostracizes you from society, health care, shelter, food security, etc, what do you expect?My wish is the next 20 years brings a post scarcity society where wage slaving for a corporation so your family doesn’t die if they get cancer isn’t so much a moral imperative.
We should also dramatically realign the education system to value real learning, personal and community growth, and a culture of learning rather than just daycare (not that childcare for parents isn’t tremendously important, believe me), funding zillions of BS college admin positions, job training for corporations that are to cheap to train their own employees, and grades (as we know them. Grades have so much nonsense loaded on top of them

In order to do that, you either make shitty products or you do shitty things to make em cheaper and sell em higher. And some things should be free." / X

THREAD. Behind closed doors, a little-known bureaucrat in Los Angeles just signed one of the weirdest--and most dangerous--contracts I've seen in my career: it gives huge control over the “justice” system in Los Angeles to the consulting firm Accenture.— Alec Karakatsanis (@equalityAlec) September 4, 2023

A whole rotisserie chicken for $7.50 is a miracle of capitalism. It's most of a day's calories for 30 minutes of minimum wage. It's delicious. It goes with everything. It comes hot, but you can eat it cold. Incredible.— Bachman (@ElonBachman) June 22, 2023

Efficiency and tech advancement could be prioritized if we had a societal structure that didn’t require people to work in order to obtain access to basic resources required to stay alive such as healthcare, housing, and food. We prioritize jobs bc we lack a social safety net. https://t.co/UjqxrC1LXE— Jen Bartel (@heyjenbartel) June 21, 2023

It’s clear to me that comics, and the arts in general, are broken industries. Art cannot exist easily under the systems that exist. Art grows in the cracks. What is plucked from the ground is mostly what is recognisable or guaranteed profitable.— adam (@Kumerish) June 11, 2023

If elite schools like Harvard just admitted the highest scorers on the SAT, such schools would probably experience a decline in their elite status, which is the very reason people so badly want to be admitted in the first place.Folks aren’t ready for that conversation. pic.twitter.com/X6cUWY48AM— Kareem Carr | Data Scientist (@kareem_carr) June 11, 2023

you know what? nobody was going into comics expecting to make boatloads of money. but people are allowed to have dreams, ambitions, & to be a little starry eyed at the beginning. those are human emotions. fuck out of here with your little "well that's just capitalism" smug shit https://t.co/omXEA0Jrfn— wendy xu 🤖 preorder INFINITY PARTICLE!

The root of so many American problems is first, refusing to accept that it is a problem at all and second, refusing to accept that everyone else is doing a vastly better job and that you could learn from that.

the metric replaced the thing we wanted to measure, and instead of recognizing this fact and changing the metric to match what we *actually* wanted to measure,we ended up in an arms-race between those tweaking the metric and those gameing it— James Rosen-Birch @provisionalidea@bsky.social (@provisionalidea) November 5, 2021

#BlackRock is the sign of a sick economy. “[T]he world’s largest asset management company is revolutionizing finance by investing in capitalism itself.” https://t.co/hf3bEEpw7aHow are they doing this & why is it a problem?

What people don't realize is that this is the default state of housing in a market economy, and it's great for consumers. Turning aging homes into an investment vehicle by artificially constraining supply, the way it's done in the US and many other places, is extremely harmful. pic.twitter.com/J3sCihYJ0n— François Chollet (@fchollet) January 21, 2023

to save some nickels Hertz mindlessly reported 1000s of cars stolen a year and got dozens of people arrested and jailed. Their punishment is to settle a lawsuit, none of the Hertz execs responsible for ruining lives and getting people kidnapped and caged will see a day in prison https://t.co/jwlKu7dZcv— Adam H.
