College was always intended for the kids of rich folks to get cushy high paying jobs doing nothing

Honestly it took war with Russia for people to see scientists as valuable despite them underpinning basically everything in modern society

The GI Bill allowed soldiers that fought Hitler the opportunity to obtain the same level of education previously reserved for generations of the ruling class.

That was the first real instance of DEI in America, and the ruling class has been doing everything in their power to take back their exclusive club ever since by dividing and conquering.

I know people think Russia is trying to infiltrate the U.S. because the cold war never really ended, but I'm pretty sure we've been thinking about it backwards. I'm starting to believe that our elite knew they couldn't topple American democracy to regain power from within without making it too obvious, so they purchased/privatized post Soviet Russia so they wouldn't have to say the quiet parts out loud.

I know your intentions were to inform but reading that has made me hate the Heritage Foundation three times harder than I was just an hour ago, and that's been enough to make me want to bite through a broom handle
