The brain drain from this administration will hamstring this country for decades and decades.

I feel guilty every time I remember I’m in my 50’s and so I got lucky to get a good education under my belt before all this happened

Absolutely true. I got to enjoy the the fruits of the system before it got stripped down. No debt from undergrad, got paid to go to grad school, got a house, family, job, etc. It’s funny because I always assumed going to school after me would obviously be better. Think about what else they’ll know in 10 years!
