High school around 2000 is pretty surreal in retrospect. We all had this idea that all jobs existed. People just talked about these elaborate dream careers as if any degree automatically came with a job for life at a minimum salary above anything entry level.
It was the last vestiges of the world where college degrees were 100% guaranteed actual certificates for jobs that were naturally compensated for being useful. Now they are mostly a useless certification for a list of intangible or irrelevant things in bloated programs capitalizing on the idea of compensation that no longer exists by overcharging trillions of dollars for certificate printing fees.
Boomers only experienced the world where college was always useful. Zoomers have only experienced a world where college is rarely useful. Millennials watched the transition when the system died out from under them,
This was a nearly identical experience to myself and so many of my peers. We were all told to make good grades, go to college, get a degree, get a good job, and have a good life. Now that so many are saddled with student loan debt can't afford a home they love to say we should have gone to trade school instead of getting a useless degree.
When I was a kid, the boomer motto to my generation was “just go to college. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know what you want to do, just go.”
So many did just that. Most taking out huge loans and the actual % who are using their degrees are abysmally low. Now my generation is one ridden with debt, almost impossible to buy a home, and the very same generation that insisted on them doing what they did, chides them as being lazy. Then it gets worse, it’s not bad enough they call them lazy, they actively sabotage them too.

@jiggyjayy2 To anyone paying attention it was obvious the whole time Covid was used to orchestrate the biggest wealth transfer in the history of mankind.
If you want to know why younger generations are mad and Gen Z is screwed, read this.
140k is the new poverty line for a family. It’s no wonder why nobody wants kids these days.
There is a huge benefits cliff between 40k and 80k for a family. You end up taking a huge hit if you make more than the poverty line. It’s like a huge trap. Healthcare is complexity broken, and so is childcare.
>Boomers when you merely point out that they’re in an economically advantageous position because they lived through extremely favorable economic conditions
For anyone that missed my favorite hand of the @WSOP Final Table because of the blackout here it is.
As @FrancisPoker123 said you can’t learn this on GTO Wizard.
@chamath If it only effected sports betting and poker players this may be true but it also effects slot players who are some of the highest revenue generation for casinos.
@Hcorvese@BobMatherPoker@SavagePoker Don't most or all casinos have signs when entering that you are under surveillance? Why would it be illegal is it's disclosed before entering and the guest then consents by entering the facility?
Over $3,800,000 in guaranteed prize pools coming to The Orleans this summer! Tons of mixed game action with buy-ins from $240 to $1,100 and No Limit Hold'em will range from $125 to $800. We can't wait to see everybody this summer!!
@SavagePoker If you are asking if Sean would say something specifically at an MGM event then that's a totally different question than a member of the media. He is in a leadership role in that company. I don't want to speak for him but I'm guessing he would speak up. But not same same as media
