I like Numbers Fuckstien as a pejorative for someone that sees the immense task at hand, and wants to make small adjustments to the failing system as it crashes in around them. using it for someone that went to college and is educated is stupid., but there does seem to be a bit of a venn diagram between numbers fuckstiens and the "college elite"

When it's talking about trying to math out inconsequential changes to make them look significant yeah it's funny When it devolves into "numbers bad" know-nothingism spite the libs, welp Like a lot of good terms it's getting played out by reflexive over-application

https://twitter.com/zei_nabq/status/1150795390540759040 Biden looking like he's about to have a drat heart attack. Mellow Seas posted:Can we all just take a moment to recognize that "numbers fuckstein" is a not-clever way of describing a concept of dubious utility? I'd say it's a pretty good catchphrase for summing up the guy who gets passionate about moving the average rate of rent increases from 4% a year to 3% a year. Particularly when said numbers gently caress touts this as a revolutionary plan to change America. It's also a really good descriptor for every upper-class dumbshit who defended the ACA on the basis of "but now millions more have access to health insurance!" when basically nobody who enrolled in those plans can afford to use them for anything but the most dire emergencies. At which point you lost your job and you're bankrupt from your deductible/copays/running up debt to pay rent anyways, lmao

Its Coke posted:I'm generally against them because centrist libs have gotten so enamored with them they think breaks are the only way to create any new type of incentive or aid. which is bad for two reasons Number 2 does not necessarily track with what we know about how risk averse humans as a species are. The research shows they’d much rather not lose some amount of money they have than gain an equal amount of it. Also tax credits (the OP mentioned tax breaks, but this thread frequently treats them as interchangeable) can take the form of a payout when they’re refundable, like the EITC.

Gripweed posted:But my god, do you remember what it was supposed to be 10 years ago? That glorious dream, that beautiful notion of a better world just within our grasp? Also important: the 9.86% is one of those means-tested numbers for earners. That is to say when I last bothered with the marketplace, the lowest price I could get was more then 30% of my income (pre-tax). There is some sort of assumptive floor that of course everyone will make at least $35K/yr.

The biggest problem I see with linking college degrees with job qualifications is that it turns higher education into glorified job training (which conveniently pushing the expenses of same off of employers and onto the universities themselves), which is emphatically not what that exists to do.

Heck Yes! Loam! posted:I like Numbers Fuckstien as a pejorative for someone that sees the immense task at hand, and wants to make small adjustments to the failing system as it crashes in around them. There's definitely a lot of incrementalist/technocratic rhetoric that emerges out of even well-meaning PoliSci/economics courses. Which is unfortunate, because technocratic/incrementalist solutions have their place (in a functioning, fash-free, public owns the Means of Production society), but those models are completely incapable of dealing with collapsing societies/political structures or major systemic changes (such as those required for the collapse of capitalism, automation and climate change).

Yeah, there's for sure a few that think anti-liberalism requires rejection of liberal education in general.

I am absolutely and unironically calling for the dismantling of the liberal education, to be replaced with a comprehensive cradle-to-grave leftist education (it begins with the removal of all children and infants from the family unit, to be reared in communal creches)

Mellow Seas posted:Cowardly? Weird take, bro. You're literally presenting your personal opinion and saying that people should just agree with it without any discussion or reflection, but in an extremely weaselly way where you don't even bother to present any arguments for why your opinion should be accepted. That's some primo intellectual cowardice right there, pal. E: Also I envy you all who evidently haven't had to encounter any actual nazi rhetoric in your lives ever.

Numbers Fuckstain works because fuckstain is already a non-racial swear, AFAIK. Unoriginal Name posted:Are people saying college is bad or that a system that only recognizes those who have the spare time/money to get a degree is bad People sometimes conflate "education" with "neoliberal education" (as in, all modern education is neoliberal and should be rejected out of hand). This leads to some strange conclusions like: "you don't need an education to understand Marx" and discounting the Big Bang because its "capitalist science" that's not Hegelian enough.
