The number of OnlyFan creators in 2020 was ~450K. By the end of 2024, that number had risen to over 4M with about 50% of them in the US. So, while the US jobs market and real economy suffered under Biden's incompetence - the jobs for sex workers (both male and female) boomed. This was fueled by a huge demographic of incel liberals unable to meet women in the real world due to social anxiety, fear of catching covid, and their grotesque physical appearances and personalities.


For generations, colleges around the U.S. fueled local economies, creating jobs and bringing in students to shop and spend. read more

"It's called being a well rounded individual.

When colleges first began, that was purpose. They made you study Greek classics so you actually understood the thinking unpinning modern society and democratic systems.

That is not what today's college's do. Taking a '3rd world literature class' or even a Anthropology class (after the implementation of the work nonsense) does not make you 'well rounded' - it wastes your time and makes you poor. You are a great example of this.

Let's compare that to Australia - their 3-year bachelor degrees in business focus on - BUSINESS. You are are in and out in 3 years and can choose to take only business related classes. This saves you time and money - and the reality is with 3 years focused solely on business, you get 1 full year of extra training actually in your degree field. 3 years of actual business training is now more of less equivalent to what a US university student would receive with an under graduate degree in business paired with an MBA.

The difference? About 1-2 years in extra tuition paid in US universities that help support the non-marketable PhD graduates. It surely does not help the students.

So, when people complain about their soaring costs of college - the reality is that it is not the cost so much as the ROI due to the actual training you received being watered down by 50% or more with these useless filler classes and employers not increase pay because the graduates are less prepared for the real world.
