Has it ever occurred to the “Fight for $15” Democratic Socialists that volunteer work and college violate their principle of “all work should render a $15 an hour wage”?

College involves thousands of unpaid hours listening to trivial nonsense which no student remembers. Students graduate with little to no humility, or a decent grasp on history, economics, science, politics, or philosophy.

Credential Inflation: Also known as academic inflation, is the process of inflating the minimal credentials necessary for a particular job while at the same time devaluing certificates and degrees.

Credential Inflation: “An individual with a printing press prospers, but a society can’t get rich simply by printing more money. The same goes for credentials”

– Dr. Bryan Caplan, @bryan_caplan
