    This was back when colleges were still focused more on academics and critical thinking.

    Now it’s about million dollar, MBA presidents, NCAA, alumni money, and the amount of money they generate.

    I think what you’re finding is a lot of Americans can barely afford to live anymore and I mean A LOT. While their way of what they consider to be barely living/scraping by is tens of millions of times better than what’s going on around the world most are so beaten down for their standard of living the reality is setting in hard and you’re seeing the breakdown of a country right before your eyes.

    No one besides the privileged people give a shit right now is what you’re seeing because the privileged can afford to stand and picket for a night. Many people are one paycheck away from doom or have iron fist bosses that penalize them for missing a single day of work. Don’t hate the haters…hate the rich, the landlords, the politicians that don’t help the general public anymore that horde all the wealth essentially.
