That's money better spent than $55 your "employer" wasted on you.

You want government funded manufacturing then here is the chance for government to provide manufacturing jobs to replace what has been sent to Ukraine along with what has been sent elsewhere. Heck by your comment, leaving all the equipment behind in Afghanistan is a good thing so government can pay to manufacture replacements

CitizenK, we’ll all laugh about this when Russia takes back their territory that the Red Army gave to Ukraine. It will be a chuckle. Remember that thing with Ukraine? Haha.

And you aren’t intelligent enough to think ahead towards winter and what the Europeans are then going to have to say about the energy crisis. A sizable percentage of Europeans have my perspective on this war, and they are not stand for it. It’s easy for you to say when we’re just paying higher than normal gas and food prices. Not going to be that way in Europe.



How many have your perspective? Give me some hard numbers.

Unless you’re going in a STEM Field, college in general is bullshite. My counterpart in the east doesn’t have a college degree. I mention that in passing and you act like I bring it up in casual conversation often. The only thing college brought me was friendships and a foreign language which I could have learned just as easily from a tutor.



It is absolutely no surprise that a liberal education (go look up what that means before you queef all over this thread) was wasted on you.

As in they’re not going to freeze and starve on behalf of Ukraine, like 70% of them, and it’s even higher in this country. The Ukrainians aren’t going to give up (I’ve never doubt the common Ukrainian’s courage and valor), but Europe will over this:



You think 70% of people in Europe share your 'perspective'?

The energy issue is of a real concern, but the food issue, the more I've looked into it, is more likely to affect poorer countries outside of Europe than Europe proper.

It’s wasted on basically everyone. It’s a bad joke.


Speak for yourself. I had a superb education in the Western tradition and I didn't pay anything for it. If I had to do it all over again, I'd do it the same. You definitely don't have the ability to appreciate what you missed, though that might be fortunate for us, lest you start parodying The Sorrows of Young Werther except about Ukraine and sovereign debt.

Assuming I have kids, I will not be paying for a college education for them outside of a STEM Field.


A common sentiment, but also a myopic one.

College is really mostly a social and brainwashing club these days.


Nah

I don’t think 70% of Europeans will look their kids in the eyes and say that the cold and food shortages are worth it to support Ukraine. It’s going to be cold enough in their houses anyway to where they’ll get violent in the streets.



So you are saying you think they are willing to risk the cold outside to be violent on account of energy prices because it will also be cold inside their houses?

I mean honestly, while my parents like spoiling me, if they wanted to make a man out of me and really, really learned Mandarin well to the level of understanding their slang, they would have sent me to live with the Inner Mongolian horse lords for a year. Save for hiring a nanny that speaks fluent Mandarin, that’s where I’d send my kid to really learn it. Spent a week on those plains with them in one of the greatest weeks of my life, and you give me another six months out there, that makes a true man out of someone. Lots of drunken but hard fun hanging with Mongolian horse lords. No college education necessary
FFS, who gives a shite?
