      I hope Lambda can grow fast enough to accommodate all the refugees from the implosion of traditional higher education.

      The current national conversation about forgiving student debt shows that people are now only a couple steps away from seeing what the actual problem is.

          That higher education institutions get away with price gouging and predatory lending practices.

          Yeah but you know that the people who are pretending to find religion on this issue are just mining it for perpetual votes. They don't see any "root causes" as they themselves are the root cause perpetrators.

          Constraining students from an education will not "fix" the problem. If anything the college industrial complex will hold those wanting wanting an education for ransom in exchange for more gov't subsidy. Make college education a public good...

          Not sure if the "couple steps away" should be read as a) the sincere, hopeful implication that people will soon recognize the actual problem, or b) the ironic quip that people will never recognize the problem.

          Yeah I think it's not an accident that the costs which have exploded in America over the past few decades are healthcare, housing, education There is market failure in all 3 categories

          People with CS degrees fail technical interviews regularly because they can’t code, and that’s supposed to be one of the more challenging majors. I don’t think people want to admit how little value a college education has at this point.
