Gm nostriches…. Sorry for the Wednesday rant. Also, uk freaks, prep to vote with your money tomorrow and happy Bitcoin Wednesday. The students are being saddled with massive debt, that their degrees are not adding sufficient value for them to likely ever pay off. This is not providing them with any value, they should not go to uni!!! They would be better learning #bitcoin Multiple UK universities are struggling, if they were private sector companies, they would have called in the administrators. They are getting students into debt and not even making use of the money they get and the lives they are ruining. “Research staff”in your ivory towers,if your research is not adding value to these students’ lives,is the money you’re taking from your struggling employer actually helping the situation.Unless actual businesses are paying your bills, that “esrc” grant process just adds red tape and pointless admin! And then the university administrators. You get the comfy wages but what are you actually doing, you “keep the wheels turning” but are you making things better, or just adding bureaucracy? “Teaching and learning manager” who doesn’t teach? No offence, but just Fuck off. So students: learn #bitcoin don’t get into massive low value debt. Researchers: what is going to get people out of this situation? (Research #bitcoin) The universities: consider developing strategic assets treasury (buy #bitcoin) Uni Administrator: good luck in your next job.
