(102,119 posts)who went back to school (some of us had to drop out of HS to survive when our pre-boomer parents got divorced... a major tabu that screwed us with socially unacceptable family issues) and ended up graduating in 2001 or soon after which screwed us royally when the world came to a screeching halt for over a year.
It's a never ending spiral of making sure that there is always an economic underclass even if it requires undoing everything that made this nation progressive so long ago. I'll probably never pay off my student loans as I am now entering my 60s, will probably work until my body gives up on me or I run out of food and shelter, whichever comes first... probably never live in a home of more than two rooms and paying rent etc. Probably never own anything of value beyond daily functioning for survival... not that I have any longing for vast wealth or dominance over other people and/or species but I would like to pursue some of my life-long desires before I'm toast. That is what will probably never happen.
