Yeah, well, dog-piling is Lemmy’s whole thing. Especially when someone points out that there are much more specific factors to blame besides “capitalism bad”.
Fabrication companies don’t (always ‡) pay for your welding certification, hospitals don’t pay for doctors to go to med school, software companies don’t pay for your CS degree, HVAC techs don’t train you straight off the street, etc. People forget trade schools are a thing / alternative to college degrees and that you’re expected to take those paths yourself. Even apprenticeships expect you to have at least some background as to not waste time on you, unless they’re just super desperate.
But no, everything that ails you has to boil down to “capitalism bad” even if that’s as technically true as “breathing oxygen eventually leads to death”.
‡ It’s not unheard of for them to pay for that certification (I can speak for at least one instance), but it’s definitely not the norm.
That’s a lot of down votes for the truth

But it’s false.
