News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

I don't know how to put this more gently. You're speaking about a subject that, for anyone familiar with it, it's pretty clear you don't know much about, and are getting defensive and doubling down when anyone contradicts you.
It seems like you're more interested in feeling right than actually being right, and I'm just not interested in wasting my time with someone who would rather write paragraph after paragraph about how other people are wrong than spend 60 seconds first looking online to check if they're actually right themselves.
My original comment was about what was being lost in addition to those who have a PhD. About their families and what it took from them for that person to get a PhD.
At this point I don’t even think you read my comment. You are being an ass about having tuition covered like that’s all that it takes to get a PhD. You didn’t contradict me you moved the goalpost and won’t accept it when I try to move them back. I literally have family with a PhD in higher education administration who I find far more trustworthy on this subject than a random internet asshole who has offered nothing but “trust me bro”.
The bottom line is that graduate degrees are expensive and tuition is only part of what it takes. If you personally are too blind to see what was sacrificed by others for you to go through this then I feel sorry for those people.
Fucking hell mate. Not a single shred of self awareness on you, is there?
At least I actually read your comments. Even though they didn’t have anything to do with the class war I was talking about and you come off like an uppity douche.
LOL pretend whatever you need to cope.
