Lets bring back "You can't afford it"..

Starting with student loans... Giving $150,000 to an 18 year old is rarely a good risk, and it normalizes borrowing extremely large sums of money with no clear way to pay it back on the assumption that it'll all work out in the end. Higher education should find a different business model.

The model in which such few people should be accessing it -> lower demand -> lower prices.

I know, beating the dead horse and such. But that degree in interpretative native dance is doing little to help humanity.
