[lbo-talk] can't afford health care? bring a chicken to the doc's

[Joanna]

I'm thinking a lot about this issue these days. I'm thinking about it 
because my kids did not get an elite education, and will not be able to 
step into the infinitely entitled classes. So what should they do?

Given where things are going, my feeling is that the best they can do is 
to develop a few needed skills and try to find themselves a home in the 
underground economy as much as possible. This will maximize the 
purchasing power of whatever money they do make and strengthen their 
social ties/networks.

They have defined the "economy" in such a way that the price of 
"belonging" is a life-time of indentured servitude. A year at U.C. 
Anything is about $30K now (including living expenses). So about 150K 
for a public education. Unfuckingbelievable. All this so you can stand 
in line for non-existent jobs...or for the kinds of jobs that allow you 
to serve the people that enslaved you.
