Lol why is that people who don't have a university-level education are always the most critical of it? Do you truly believe that it's possible for someone to get through a math-related degree simple by regurgitating facts?

I think it's horseshit that is so heavily paywalled. As per maths related degrees, yes, understanding the how and why interactions between equations etc requires instruction, but the heart of this article is about population decline and lack of work force, getting "great paying work" for the mass majority (not including entrepreneurs, or other outlying situations) this mass of wealth requires a giant paywall to make a living wage. If you've not been blessed with super stable life, the 80% of jobs out there, vs cost of living are simply inequitable. It doesn't make sense to populate anymore. The societal economics of the country are fundamentally destroyed because the hamster wheel of chasing a better life doesn't exist anymore. Most things are unattainable without disproportionate sacrifice
