[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We should strive for a more educated populace. This feels like the opposite.

This would only seem to serve to increase the chasm between the haves and the have-nots.

But it also feels like that might be part of the intent.

Also after this is implemented will the lack of an education be used as a reason to lower compensation ?

This feels like society going backwards.[/quote]

I completely agree with all of this. I feel like this is in the same vein as things like quiet quitting and rage quitting that developed during Covid, which only serves to stunt careers and wage growth. It is a race to the bottom.

I think that ultimately there is a growing segment of the US population that is lazy and does not wish to work or do anything productive to society at all, and do the absolute bare minimum, while still expecting the same fruits of labor that people who worked hard already have. I’m not sure how all of this will end up playing out over the next decade.[/quote]
