Maybe we should do something to try to eliminate the working poor that receive public assistance...
Now when you say eliminate...
KILL 'EM ALL No, but really. Wage increases. Benefits. Raise them out of that category.

Change it and implement a program to get people working.
Such as? You can't just create jobs that aren't needed.

So now we're rewarding "hackers" for disrupting service to millions of people? Surely that will keep it from happening again...

Pro tip: texting your ex while you're drunk is always a great idea.
Not.
who does that?
*sheepishly raises hand*
Drunk calling them is even better.
Especially when you do it 3+ times in a row.
Calling? like...on the phone? I'm not sure I even remember how to make a phone call.

You don't have friends.
My friends would disagree with you.
Keyword is would. Not could.

I seriously don't know why someone would start smoking in this day and age. We all know it's terrible for you.
Don't most smokers start when they're young?
Yes. But my point is at least older people may have been mislead or didn't know it was bad for you. Literally every person knows smoking is bad for you now, and you'd have to be some kind of idiot to even pick up the habit.
I would imagine that the older ones tried it out of curiosity and then got hooked.
You don't get hooked off of one cigarette, though.
Nicotine is one of the most addictive drugs out there.
...your point? Doesn't change the fact you need to smoke more than one cigarette to become addicted.

But that's what employers want.
No it isn't.
Employers want employees who will be reliably competent in their field. The fact that you have letters after your name is immaterial, for the most part.
I've literally never applied to a job that wasn't a retail gig when I was 17 that didn't want a college degree.

Tertiary however, isn't.
It's getting to the point where it should be, though.
Not really. Declaring it a universal right for everyone would only devalue college degrees, virtually rendering them worthless.
If people want to enroll into higher paying fields they should expect to put some semblance of work in.
Because it isn't already getting there? Having a college degree is pretty much required for any field.
And that's exactly why we shouldn't be shoveling more people into tertiary education. How long before a college degree is no more valuable than the A+ on that drawing you did when you were 5 years old?
It already is. So what we should do is subsidize it so people don't put themselves in massive debt.
Yes, because giving everyone and your grandma a college degree is definitely going to entice employers, right?
But that's what employers want. Get real. Not everyone can, and should be getting college degrees. It's not a fundamental right, and never will be. It's there for those who wish to enter high paying fields, not the everyday average joe.
If by "high paying field" you mean literally anything above minimum wage...

How is that any different than requiring people to go to high school?
Because it's not high school.
University was never designed to be a form of mass education, and the problem lies with general distrust in the public education system as opposed to any necessity to own a degree - which only exists within the current paradigm.
The first rule of economics is that scarcity proximately effects value, so what do you think happens to the value of a degree if everybody has one? We're already seeing this in a relative lack of value in a BA compared to an MA/MSc.
Yes, and my point is that making high school a requirement [whenever it was "they" decided that] isn't much different than making tertiary education a requirement now.

Absolutely not.
You heighten the standards of all the categories if the educational system is suffering from credential inflation. What you don't do is try and push more people through higher education.
How is that any different than requiring people to go to high school? Basically any job worth having requires an applicant to have a college degree, or related vocational training/apprenticeship
