Even without politics, people who go to more expensive specialized schools tend to be full of themselves and horribly incompetent. A former boss told me they don't hire most of them for this reason. Public universities all the way.
Think discrimination lawsuits. It wouldn't be hard for that person, if they read Voat, to figure out who the OP is. Also, they could easily doxx the OP, causing further trouble.
I knew a lot of people who went to one of the better Ivy Leaguye schools and honestly they were really unprepared for the real world. It was like the schools have so much support that they coddle these kids and help them at every step, so when they get into the real world they can't function without a strong support system. As I'm typing this I feel like I understand the plan. Isn't this the DENNIS System, nurturing dependence?
That was what landed me on the streets. I grew up with wealthy, not really helicopter parents, but they sent me to psych wards, threw me in supportive classes, got me signed up with aba therapy. At the end of it all I was so dependent on my support system I didn't have a single independent thought in my body.
Just leaving, and going hitchhiking is the best decision I ever fucking made.

Reading the part about the many conjoined letters, I think I finally realized why Google renamed themselves into Alphabet.

Education is the next bubble. Boy are the younger millenials going to be pissed when the degrees that they slaved for are suddenly not worth anything.

I'm down with everything you wrote. But I'm curious
How are you worried for your safety? I don't actually care which site it was. I'm just not sure how posting that could endanger you.
