it literally sucks on a societal level if the bar for meaningful participation in the economy gets too high
like sure we can laugh at a humanities degree choice ig, but "stem degree or gtfo" is not a good thing
One of the greatest lies of my generation was that merely having any degree guaranteed you a job and financial success. As with all things fiat, the value of degrees was printed to oblivion & zoomers are going to be major casualties of this.

both straightforwardly disconfirmed by looking at Google doc history!
had yesterday THE most invigorating and effective expression of calm, righteous anger that I've ever directed at another person

this is WHY they prohibited suspensions for "disruption" btw-- because teachers are very often neurotic, insecure midwits who would happily remove kids from the school to punish them for literally anything that "disrupts" their fragile sense of calm or authority
