No, she disses math.

Exactly. And that's when this atbreastude started becoming "common knowledge" as a fact. Before that, this opinion was held by those who couldn't, or didn't want to, do math.

No, it depends on hiring. There was a hiring freeze across the biz somewhere in there. Once upon a time, a person would get hired to a particular job. Has this practice disappeared?

Of course.

Up until the 80s, it was the unions who held power.

Except it has become a status of society that all people deserve a college degree. This thinking is very close to becoming one of those "rights" that politicians like to strew in their panderous speeches. You have to pay attention.

The events are not the same. This another fake "one size will fit all" solution to placate the ruffled feathers.

And I'm talking about innovation and business. If you legislate knowledge acquistion based on the latest socialist fad and make that acquistion so expensive that the recipient also acquires a life-long financial debt, you will achieve equality for all....all will be equally poor. All will be 100% dependent on the central government bureaucracies for all sustencance. Anybody who expresses a different idea or innovation will be shot dead or exiled to site and expected to survive on 500 calories-day. Does this sound familiar?

OTOH, there cannot be a million flavors of your "conventional wisdom". The political environment where these things sanity check each other is a representative democracy which is based on an economic system of capitalism.
