A place to discuss pro-conservative stuff

  1. Be excellent to each other. Civility, No Racism, No Bigotry, No Slurs, No calls to violences, No namecalling, All that good stuff, follow lemm.ee's rules, follow the rules of your instance, etc.

  2. We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.

  3. Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.

A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I am not a conservative wtf... my body of work speaks for itself. What are you basing this clown take on?

they don’t speak to the qualitative benefit of educating a population.

This is benefit in the room with us right now?

All I see is increasingly improvised and indebted population, working longer hours, getting less benefits... people are not forming families. People can't afford rent.

Now show me this benefit you are talking about, dear!

What is the qualitative risk of an educated population?

Debt slavery which solid part of millennials is currently suffering.

Not every job requires a college degree, but since we have made it available to anyone with a pulse, employers are pushing for them even when they provide no value. I have seen a stupid job posting for a master's degree for a 20-an-hour job. The degree isn't required for a license or some other practical reason.

Who is this "we"? Are you owner of a company? Because I am not, I made not such decisions. Did you you?

Employers start pushing for this shit starting 40 years ago and people respond as manufacturing jobs go eroded. so THEY made it a requirement for secretary needing an English major... trying getting that job with out a BA lol

We, as in the collective America. We voted for the people who decided to make loans available to everyone.

Americans have marginal impact on any policy fed government pushes.

Colleges collude with industry to create debt slaves here though
