I sure as hell didn’t enjoy all the food insecurity and dumpster diving when I was a grad student.

American Academia is run by a bunch of feckless cowards who worship hierarchy. You know what you call a scientist who works for nazis because thats the only way to get funding? A fucking nazi scientist. Idk why people are even remotely surprised about US academics being fascists after the way the Palestine protests were handled. Any of yall who are grad students already know its a fucking scam to get 4-7 years of knowledge work out of you for 30k/yr.

It’s a great offer!
Sides of depression, exploitation and burnout!
How can you turn it down? You will be useful to society! The greatest minds!
