If college degrees are so hard to come by why are there so many unemployed college graduates? Something does not compute here... ;]

The lack of a job market has no bearing on the price or difficulty of obtaining an education...which is the part that makes a "college degree a privilege". So your point is kind of moot....and contextually makes no sense...

Because liberal arts degrees are trash. Thats the type of crap degree these kids get. Our public school system sucks. These kids either can't or won't do any STEM programs. That's what pays and is in demand. That's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

Your making a generalization. A really BAD one. Basically you just said you think that all college grads that are unemployed are arts majors....while I dont disagree about the lack of value in a liberal arts degree (other then personal fulfillment) that's statistically false....and a painful narrow view of a complex economic situation.

Does the fact that it is my 5th successful business mean anything? I am not trying to get a loan from you.... LOL!!!

And you are a troll on a pot website political forum.

Word of advice...giving info about yourself (real or fake) will never prove anything to anyone online. It will make you look desperate for recognition. Not trying to be a dick to you...just saying how people read it....especially ones you're bantering with...ya know?

It is not difficult to get a college education. What I am saying is that it does not guarantee success as the unemployment rate for college graduates demonstrates.

I dont really care about recognition here so that point is moot.

A wise friend of mine whom is a physician over at Stanford once complained about "shit coworkers" to me. He said...

"A bad doctor is one that looks at the symptoms checked off on the chart and proscribes something for them. A good doctor is one that examines the patient to find the underlying cause of the symptoms."

I have found this philosophy to be greatly helpful in all facets of life.

As such, while comics like this are amusing I feel they give some people a deceptively narrow view as to the "why".


Quite frankly if one more guy in his 50-60's wants to complain to me about welfare and "poor people" while jerking himself off about how "He is a humble carpenter who still managed to own his own home with a tiddy $mill+ sitting in his bank account" ill flip. How fucking myopic does a person have to be to not realize his home in the 80's for $30k is now upwards of 300k-1mill today while middle class specialty laborer wages haven't seen any real increase in decades. Or that college is now the privilege of the wealthy as opposed to almost literally free in our grandfathers day....

How is it surprising that so many dont have enough, when wealth (in the form of monies, property or opportunity) has become so disproportionately distributed?

There will always be some that take advantage...always....but I cant help but notice the folks who most commonly denounce those seeking social services in general also seem to irrationally draw links between those folks and to other demographics they also dont care for, for one reason or another.....it paints a picture

The "why" isn't a fixed reason, but much of what you stated about declining prosperity is correct. A lot of it can be assigned to government monetary policy and regulation as causal factors. If you care to discuss that, I can cover it pretty well. So you have identified a problem, can you discuss the cure and the actual cause? I can.

Also, I don't view "poor people" as good or bad, some are victims, some are not. So if I was denouncing anything or anyone, it was the idea that forcible redistribution isn't the answer and never will be.

Also the term "social services" is suspect, if those so called services arise from a threat, (they do...that is a fact) they shouldn't be called a "service". You appear to dismiss the means as part of the total process, you might want to think about that.

As far as jerking off, yup I had my carpenters tool belt on and was fondling the Makita circular saw while breathing heavily with my 28 oz. hammer in my hand.

Fox News educates an entire nation for free...they have a pretty good graduation rate.

A high school student in the US is 2 years behind most other countries upon graduation.

Businessmen, Parents, Children and the Nation are being dragged down by ignorance.

Education is expensive...:wall:

I think my statement is statistically accurate. STEM jobs are highest in demand and highest paying. Show me your statistics otherwise. Never once did I say that all liberal arts college grads are unemployed. So don't assume what I type, take it for exactly what I typed..

One thing's for sure I take shorter tokes but a smoother pull I just started to vape because I felt I wasn't getting a full pull I love the ballon bag I tried water pipes but the best so far has been vaping, my buddy went through the same shit and switched to vaping he went and got the granddaddy of all vapes (volcano). But I refuse to spend $300-$500 for one. But I do get a better longer lasting high when I vape but I smoke my blunts when I stay in Brooklyn.

I'm right around 2000 feet myself. The valley below filled with fog that day in the pic. But the mountains directly behind my house go upt to 5000 feet. Im in the foothills.Wifey is from bk. Canarsie high grad. Her sisters went to Brooklyn tech. I grew up on the other side of the Hudson in jersey. Grew up on blunts but don't miss them anymore. Or any tobacco. I'm a dab only kind of guy at any elevation myself. Lols

I've considered a Volcano a few times myself. I just can't seem to pull the trigger though. I have both the Arizer Extreme Q and the Arizer Solo, and I love them both. The Extreme Q is the reason why I haven't pulled the trigger on a Volcano, and the Solo is great for when I'm going somewhere and I don't wanna smell like weed. ;-)
