Donald Trump - The Middle Finger in Human Form

[schmidlap]

Education can be bad or good.

I don't share your ambivalence regarding education as a public good.

Thomas Jefferson was a strong proponent of education, viewing it as a vital component of democracy. He famously stated, “If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be.” This reflects his belief that an educated citizenry is crucial for the preservation of liberty and the effective functioning of government. ​

​

On a personal level, education enhances one's earning potential. The residents of the better-educated states are generally more prosperous.

It's been obvious all along that he's a big **** YOU to a country that the simplistic, manipulated flock thinks has so terribly victimized them, the poor llittle things.

He's the biggest victim of all, so he's the perfect messenger: Aggressively ignorant, shameless, endlessly needy, vulgar, juvenile and embarrassing. The embodiment of their rage.

How in the world any adult would be proud of that remains a mystery. They've actually convinced themselves that a flamboyant, hypersensitive NY City billionaire con man cares about them.

That should be Mamdani's picture, not Trump's.

It's certainly worked as a valid excuse for them.

They downgrade higher education, then they think the system is rigged against them.

Again, there is good education and bad education. You don't appear to understand that simple concept. That tells me that your education isn't that good.

False. The right values education. We value the right kind of education. You creatures don't want to admit that there is a difference.

Kinda missing some of those stories about the income of certain people in the trades?

Some of whom make very good money.....much better than a white collar job.

And the job satisfaction is much better too.

I can't opine regarding "job satisfaction" but am well aware of the compensation of skilled tradesmen and craftsmen (who might have academic credentials and cultural interests as well, of course.)

Education pays, 2024

Data still show that more learning leads to higher earnings—and lower unemployment.

www.bls.gov

College graduates typically earn significantly more than high school graduates, with a median annual wage difference of around $22,000 and substantial lifetime earnings advantages...​

​

Overall, the data strongly supports the notion that obtaining a college degree can lead to higher earnings and better job prospects compared to only having a high school diploma. While there are exceptions, the long-term financial benefits of pursuing higher education are substantial and well-documented. Investing in a college education is generally seen as a worthwhile decision for improving one's earning potential and career opportunities.​

I assume they do it gratis.

Trump loves the 'poorly educated' — and they love him​

This data shows nothing about those who achieve journeyman status in a particular trade.

If it is burried in the high school degree category, I'd say that is meaningless.
