Every time someone goes to a college or university and pays out of their own pocket to learn the skills necessary to work for a corporation, that's society subsidizing the costs of the corporation.

We're being robbed. We need to actively shame people that spend massive amounts of money on college.

I'm sorry, we should shame the people who are following the only tattered script left for trying to make a better life for themselves?
More education is actually a good thing. We need to shame corporations and the rich for hoarding wealth and not making education cheaper.
I don't understand how we went from "corporations are stealing from us" to "we need to shame random people (who are just trying to improve their lives)"
We are being robbed, but not by the regular people trying to get educated, but by the politicians and wealthy capitalists that could change educational models to not require paying massive amounts to get educated. 99.5% of what people want or need to learn were discovered by people either retired or long dead, but access to many of those materials and knowledge is held behind a profit seeking toll booth.
