    I’m not a fan of any overarching system, however capitalism is the one I, and I suspect most of the people reading this, live in. Therefore the best way of addressing the problems our society faces is to do so using the tools that our capitalistic system provides (such as regulation and oversight) rather than twiddle our thumbs waiting for some grand revolution to fix everything.

    Claiming that the only way to improve our situation is to completely overturn the system does nothing but promote inaction.

      Sitting my kids down and telling them that the only way to send them to college is to keep buying scratch-off lottery tickets.

      Angrily insisting that the only other alternative is to tear up the entire higher education system. Its either gambling on scratchers or doing a bloody uprising. No other alternatives.
