Second thing I’ve seen this week trying to get me to think of the poor doctors and lawyers.

Why should I subsidize them? I’ve been trying to hire an estate attorhey, and I don’t recall any lawyers thanking me and offering me a discount for helping them get educated. Instead what they want to charge makes decide maybe I don’t need them at all.

There are other ways than debt, it just doesn’t fit their perfect dream.

Lawyers should never be subsidized, the most parasitical occupation in existence.

Journalists enter the chat.

Journalists are propagandists, while insufferable they wield zero actual power. Lawyers single-handedly created the bureaucratic nightmare that taxes us into oblivion while also destroying economic mobility and cementing themselves as overpriced whores.

I agree, but not with 0 power.

Why not both?

Let's be honest, career politicians helped.

The overwhelming majority of career politicians are lawyers

99% of politicians didnt rise up from the earth and appear with zero prior experience. Most were lawyers.

The only thing lawyers are good for is loosing complete faith in both law and people as a whole.

That, and they have the worst case of Dunning-Kruger effect I've ever stumbled across.

on top of that, the extra government money has just massively raised prices of it all for everyone. it's just communism with extra steps...

even if you don't take the loans, work your ass off, you're still paying for everyone else's shit. it's the same for all government spending.

Well, given the fact that dipshit highschool dropouts were able to more accurately assess both the threat and the proper treatment for covid, as well as the constitutionality of lockdowns and mandates, it seems to me that it damn well should be much more difficult to become a doctor or lawyer. The ones we currently have are evil, retarded, or both.

The filter to be a doctor should be rather difficult. No one wants a dummy in charge of their health.

They're dummies. I'm sure a quick career change to 'ballistics test dummy' is just fine.

It should be difficult, but it shouldn’t be expensive to become a doctor.

I agree somewhat but there's a part of me that thinks it being expensive is a natural culling event

Yea, around here (in Germany) we let any 3rd worlder who claims to have a degree become a doctor. Because our healthcare system is too broke to pay native doctors with a degree that's actually worth a damn.

It's not too far off in the USA. Loads of people can get money to pay for a degree in the USA, and all you really need is tenacity to get you through the schooling. Nowadays they'll pass anyone.

Article starts with a sob story about a wahman whose dream was to become a lawyer but now can't afford it

And nothing of value was lost.

I should hope so. The only downside in my view is that we may really need more doctors in the near future as the boomers retire and deal with the ails of old age.

200k lifetime cap on grad loans, max 50k per year.

This will only (or primarily) impact people who should not be going to grad school going to highly priced crap schools AND people who can’t function in the world so get their JD, their PhD, their MDiv, an MA or two, etc.

A very good thing all around.

By not letting in 65-IQ future doctors and lawyers from Somalia? The ones driven to rape frenzy by climate change?
