I would probably steer clear from any advice in the US that Feniin has to give. It's a tad bit off from reality. Slavery was abolished long again when the Republican party won the civil war and freed slaves. There are currently laws against any form of slavery and civil laws for any child labor. If he is referring to underground child trafficking, it is still alive and common around the world, even though it is illegal in most places. Other than that he sounds like a he's going down an Alex Jones track.

The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution abolished slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for a crime.

I don't think this applies the way it seems but combining that sentence with prison demographics paints an ugly scene.

Fix me Google.

Slavery was just renamed and refocused. It's still very much alive and well.

If you mean the college scam, i agree.

No one forces anyone to go into massive debt for just an undergraduate degree, let alone graduate school, only to come out with less critical thinking ability than when they went in. It's insanity, especially since approximately 53% of college graduates are unemployed or working in a job that doesn't require a bachelor's degree.

I wish our preparatory education leaders would champion apprenticeships, trade schools and good old entrepreneurialism vs the pipeline to college (and indebtedness). Unfortunately, they don't want more free thinkers and self-starters running around upsetting their apple carts.

It's really sad watching some of you post. Just attack, attack, attack. Call people names, over, and over, and over again. It's pathetic. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Sounds like you're an incel that doesn't have parents who loved him? Yikes. All mad and all riled up. Sorry your cult leader is a criminal traitor who will be impeached.

You keep making these references that have no context. Did I say I dislike women? Nope. Do I have relationships with women? Yep.

Now that we've cleared that up. You are still a stay at home dad who can't pursue anything outside of the spectrum of staying at home with your son. On the other hand, I am pursing any realm of possibility I want for business ventures, personal freedoms or anything else. Also, I am 31. Man, you really got me there.

Trump will win in 2020 and I'd love to hear how a large portion of the population (just like in 2016) has mental issues except for anyone you agree with.

So why not combine capitalism and socialism?

They asked the same thing about oil and water. Didn't work. At all.

I agree that the prison system does utilize that as a debt to society. I guess the simple lesson there would be don't commit crimes otherwise you lose freedoms but then really that would equate to less government involvement which Democrats are too particularly fond of.

In America, opportunities for success shouldn’t be limited to those with a college degree. As important as it is to make college affordable, it must also be possible to land a well-paying job and launch a career without going to college. As our labor market evolves, well-paying jobs and careers requiring only a high school diploma are harder to find. We need to ensure that workers have access to the training and education that will make them—and our economy—successful.
