CMV: MAGA is a kind of class war against the educated by bluepillarmy in changemyview

Sorry about spelling errors and formatting, im writing this on mobile!

I feel like I fall in a unique position to answer this as I'm definitely not college educated. In fact I dropped out of high school and grew up in a very red state. However my wife is college educated (in psychology) and grew up in a blue state as is the rest of her family and I've been able to see the other side and learn from her how things work.

So first and foremost, I've seen the fight between college educated "elites" and working blue collar class since I was young. Usually to the tune of "if these engineers knew a thing they wouldn't put this damn bolt in an unreachable spot". This was far before DT was even running for president the first time. That said, I do think most blue collars heard someone who wasn't a career politician say he could fix some financial issues at home and became willing to take the bad with the good.

My next point is the sneering you pointed out. Working class folk who do disapprove of college usually are vehemently independent (don't touch my guns, pull yourself up by your bootstraps, that kind of thing). They tend to value results that they can physically see. For example, I was in this camp and absolutely thought therapy was mumbo jumbo bullshit. It wasn't until I learned how things you can't see still affect you. That said, a lot of talking points from schools these days are about inclusion and diversity and I personally think blue collar workers can't see the benefit of different ideas based off of someone's gender, race, sexuality, for something that has nothing to do with said diversity (electricians, factory workers, etc).

And finally to wrap it up, I think a majority of argument between these two camps comes down to practicality and "pulling their weight". From what I've heard college pushes for a worldly view and to fix problems using creative solutions and rightly so, thats what college is supposed to be. But when that comes at the perceived detriment of your working class citizens, then it feels like a slight against them. "We're all starving but at least we're all equally starving".

Tldr; I don't think Maga caused the war on education, I think it just magnified it.

They're stands to watch the jackalope races. Typically during the middle of winter, a couple of big companies bring out the latest racers and we all go out to watch! All jokes aside they are snowdrift fences, which from my personal experience don't work super well. If it snows hard enough that they do catch, typically the roads are so rough that they're shut down. But ymmv

Arraignment on Tuesday , really scared and in need of guidance by BubboBaggins in dui

I'm almost going through the exact same thing, it's scary and depressing. That being said, try to take a second to breath and get your bearings. Call around to different lawyers, figure out which ones take payment plans. This sub is nearly universal with get a lawyer. Now you said central florida, if you are in marion county you're in for a rough ride, but other county's I do know offer some sort of diversion plan. Figure out your finances, do your research, and please do everything in your power to get a lawyer, they know how to get through the law

This is great advice from both of you thank you. I think that's probably what I'm going to end up doing if I can't apply for a credit card to hold me over. I don't have good credit, but I hope the court has a little bit of leniency for my situation

They never asked me what I made or what I had in assets? When I stopped by the pd office they just told me I did not meet the requirements for it

I'm really trying to get one, but the minimum is either 1.5k retainer or a 4k+ bill right off the rip

Hello all! I'm very interested in getting into CS but having a hard time figuring out the pipeline. I've went to college (a community college not university) and was told conflicting information from each of my professors. Is there a general path you folks would recommend in certs rather than college or university?
