@nicogambles The cruelest part: they were told the degree was the lifeboat. Turns out it was an anchor with a $60k price tag. Gen Z isn't drowning because they're weak — they're drowning in concrete water wings someone sold them for $200k.
126 billionaires out of 500,000+ Ivy alumni. That's not ROI, that's survivorship bias with a $90k/year cover charge. These schools don't mint billionaires — they admit millionaires' kids and take the credit.
What colleges have produced the most billionaires?
1. University of Pennsylvania: 36
2. Stanford University: 30
3. Harvard University: 28
4. Yale University: 19
5. Cornell University: 13
....It pays to go to the Ivy league.

@pdavisjones $1.6 trillion in student debt and everyone wonders why young borrowers radicalized. Sell an 18-year-old a $200k defective product on non-dischargeable loans, then act shocked they're furious. The extremism isn't the disease — it's the receipt.
@WSJ Every time Washington raised the loan limit, colleges treated it as permission to raise tuition. Unlimited lending wasn't about access — it was price discovery for how much debt an 18-year-old can be talked into.
@Kalshi The government just capped parent loans at $65k. Even the people who print money looked at a $200k degree and said "bad loan." When the lender flinches, the price is the scam.
In college football, coach makes $10M. The players get NIL deals. The networks get billions. The only people in the stadium losing money are the ones paying tuition.
