Every engineering major at my school was advised to change their major to 'undecided' while they took the required basic English class. The professor _hated_ engineering students.

Many programs would be completely defunded if honestly considered as 'societal necessities', but market based systems let people make their own mistakes.
I wouldn't shut down all * studies programs, only those that get any public money. Students that want to do something that stupid, _should_ pay full price. No loans either.
When I was 18 I wanted to be a racecar driver.
Q: Should the government have paid to sponsor my 6'2'' frame into a F-3 car I couldn't fit into?
A: No because there is no shortage of race drivers without subsidies. No shortage of * studies majors, 1 is INXS for the world.
Kids graduating high school should be smart enough to see bad examples and not do what they did. If they aren't they get a 40k$ millstone to remind them of their own stupidity.
No read way of knowing better? Bullshit. _Every_ student that selects * studies as a major has been told it's a bad plan by someone (a fascist per the students). They do it anyhow, now they can _pay_ the rest of their lives...
There are many ways to _screwup_ your life at 18. Knock up a mercenary skank, kill someone DUI, follow a 'jam band', 'enjoy cocaine', get caught committing a felony, go to an expensive college but learn nothing...the list goes on. At least at 'Evergreen' they get a nice 4 year party. They _aren't_ children.
I get no pleasure from this, but unless they are left twisting in the wind for all to see, the next bunch will make the same mistake.
Starbucks should require baristas to put their academic qualifications on their nametags, as specific as possible, including schools and costs.
You didn't have a problem with people losing their jobs for signing petitions/donating money to causes. Party affiliation is optional at registration time, petition and money lists aren't optional.
I'll name one: Sacramento State requires _every_ student to take a 'liberal indoctrination', full semester waste of time, course. Of course they don't call it that.
IIRC the mean student loan at graduation is about $40k. If that takes decades to payoff, you picked the wrong major. You now serve as a warning to the next generation.

Next: 'Tunnelling from Godalming to Java'? Jumping the English channel? Eating a cathedral? Summarizing Proost?
The learn real well, while pouring coffee to pay off their previous mistakes. Sucks to be them.
Really? Case closed? Fucking halfwit.
Plus voter ID, clear ballot boxes and indelible ink marks on voters thumbs to prevent double voting. The UN has a set of best practices.
Like I said on another thread. I'd never steal a million dollars, but 200 million+? You'd never see me again.
You could have looked up the definition of 'marginal cost' or you could try and make that point. Good choice.
WTF country do you think I live in? That certainly ISN'T a basic principle in the USA.
Was the whining about them being there or about them being incompetent?

Fair enough: you're fine with party affiliation being public data.
Can't have it both ways.

There is a sucker born every minute.
The younger they are when they learn the better.

Fuck you too.
That's all covered in the definition of 'marginal cost'. IIRC postal employees volunteer for those shifts and get paid by UPS. They love the overtime.
Goalpost move noted.

You're making that up. The states don't have that information and everybody (but you) knows it.
Extrapolating from MIT's 10,000 voter study, the number was about 5.5 million.
Which is a good reason to keep as much as possible as local as possible.
Doesn't change the basic fact. Power corrupts.

There are no credible studies that put it at 40%. Those conflate 'unwanted approaches' with 'sexual assault'.
No future loans to students in majors where none of them can get a job.

Some people just 'need killing'.
Personally I'm all for legal 75th trimester abortions. _Either_ parent just calls the school counselor and the brat doesn't come home.
