[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]corporate loyalty to employees in our current state of affairs, etc.? I am seriously worried for my kids, and their long term financial stability. And frustrated at the amount that will be spent for their education with no guarantees.

And yes, I know some DCUM people will rush to smugly remark how college is about more than just ROI, or how *they* diligently saved in their 529 from before birth so it's NBD or how their dc is going to community college and then to state school and they are so smart and saving so much money, blah, blah... but the reality is that college is very expensive for most people, and certainly for many of the private college attendees who lurk on here. More and more highly educated people I know are saying they are starting to think it's all a scam.

The sci fi writers of the cold war speculated what would happen when wealth was primarily being generated independent of human effort.
Once everything is automated and human effort is no longer responsible for production, that is when Marx's theories start to make sense.  
Universal basic income and the nationalizing of personal assets and everyone gets more than they need.
Teaching your kids to survive in that world sounds like a nightmare.
