   schizo theory that 25% of people committed suicide from 2020-2021 and nobody's talking about it

     I have a CS degree that's useless to me because I didn't realize how much I truly fucking despise corporate America, the LinkedIn rat race, and "dev culture" until after I graduated.

     @Hoss @RustyCrab in 2008 crash we lost about 1/3 of those here. First time the local school district said they lost students in my life time. It slowly climbed back by 2014. in 2020,2021 the learn from home… school district said, HALF of the kids never checked in on line the whole time. They actually had the teachers on one Saturday in the fall of 2020 go around to knock on door that missing kids were listed as living there. They didn’t find any.

     I don't think the colleges are going to fill back up this time, because even the normies are getting woke to the massive scam of "higher education". I have my degree and wish I'd never went.

     @Hoss @VIcFury I'm one of the few people who probably did get benefit out of it but I went for math/engineering. That stuff is not as easy to learn on your own as people say it is.
     
     "English" and the other stereotype majors should frankly be stamped out by the state.

     @RustyCrab at best it was a couple extra a week per 100,000… lost more to cancer in that time frame than suicide.

     @VIcFury this post is kind of a joke but I'm still baffled as to where everyone went. Colleges emptied out and still haven't filled to what they were before. Restaurants are terminally understaffed, as are all the offices I've seen. Traffic is still much lower even years later.

     @RustyCrab @VIcFury restaurants are understaffed because the cost of living is up and nobody wants to wage cuck it with a shitty boomer boss who got away with treating his employees like shit for years

     @PhenomX6 @RustyCrab yes, this is 100% true. The upscale large chain restaurants have to have wages and benefits to keep people. Things have changed.

     @VIcFury @PhenomX6
     Replying to phenom though you because there's some kind of federation issue going on.
     
     People keep saying "nobody wants to work for restaurants for minimum wage anymore" but they never did. They were at those jobs because they couldn't get anything else. Where did they go after that? I don't believe for a moment that they invested in education enough to get office jobs. Those emptied out too.
     
     Now, MAYBE it's that since rent has gone up so high, they literally can't work there anymore because it just doesn't pay enough to live. That's plausible, but the same question still stands: where are those people working?

     @RustyCrab @VIcFury yes this is what a lot of people are doing is shit like door dash
     
     Or they're winding up at wagecages that don't carry the fast food stigma
