Everyone? No.

Anyone? Maybe.

Bloated administration took advantage of the guaranteed federal money that was the idiotic fix for exploding college prices after the public funding stopped. Which only made prices increase more

No. Not being destitute doesn't automatically make you rich. Things are not black and white. There's a wide spectrum that is very flat until you get to the top 0.1%.

Bring in the top 10% doesn't mean much when the different between top 99 and top 90 is multiple orders of magnitude larger than top 90 to top 10.

Sure, I guess post-secondary is the term usually used

Sorry, no. Genre doesn't require a specific theme. This is some literature vs pulp gatekeeping.

Are old retirees rich, then? I wouldn't consider that accurate.

If you're not pulling in upper 6 figures from those investments, you're still not rich.

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren't enough to make it sci Fi?

Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie... Wouldn't exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species

And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.

That was not a subtle theme...

Not really the opposite. We used to subsidize higher education. The non expungable debt was part of the "fix" for that issue that Reagan caused

[–] Bronzebeard@lemm.ee 69 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (10 children)

Because Reagan defunded public secondary education. And then instead of fixing that in the late 90s/early 00s, they made school loans non expungable and federally guaranteed, so schools didn't need to keep their prices low and competitive anymore.

It always goes back to Reagan...

How could this be?!

You mean even after Congress slapped a [$35] band-aid on the problem...checks notes...16 years ago, and have only picked away at it since then, they still want more?
