That's just monstrous. Seriously, I'm enraged.

Way back in the 80s, I worked my way through college. It was hard. I didn't have any money from my parents, but I qualified for Pell grants, and I worked three part time jobs, and went to the cheapest four year college, and I went year round so I could finish in three years instead. My GPA took a hit because I was desperately sleep deprived. I paid way too much for my textbooks and sold them back for almost nothing.

And I never ever wanted anyone to have to do that again. I don't know that I imagined how much worse it could get. As hard as I worked back then, I couldn't do it today.

I wanted things to get better, but they've only gotten worse. Worse than I ever imagined.
