My husband was one of those students. He says he only went to college to play ball and get a job. (He'd like to go back now as an adult and learn.) Maybe if/when we move away from requiring a 4 yr degree just to get any old job, your quality of students will improve.
The kids have caught on to the scam.

In the south, one odd cultural marker of being low key quasi-aristocracy is that they always know where to get an excellent and well-bred dog. This is not the sort of person who chases down show breeders, or flashes cash for bloodlines they can then preen about. No, they simply know someone no one has ever heard of who has been quietly breeding the most stable and solid and sweetest labradors you’ve ever seen for like 5 human generations, on some horsey estate somewhere that’s mildly down-at-the-heels.

That’s odd. APA-accredited clinical and professional psychology programs have run 75–80% female for years with no comparable concern over the resulting male underrepresentation.

We still performatively gasp & express horror at those unapologetic corporate raiders and downsizers of the 80s and 90s: the Carl Icahns, the Al Dunlops, the Jack Welches.
Meanwhile, worse of that ilk have now moved on to do the same to whole countries.

What your experiencing is what we have been dealing with in trucking over the past few decades. You’re not dealing with a shortage, but rather high turnover. The wages are too low because there’s an oversupply between entry-level workers vs experienced workers. Good luck.

I managed a CNC shop floor and their materials program for a year. They started people at $15 an hour and expected people to operate two machines simultaneously within a month. The immigrants they'd hire would wise up and get a job at Target for $18.

Delightful shoe-leather journalism uncovers an audacious bit of caregiver fraud by monitoring just one guy. Tip of an iceberg if I’ve ever seen one.
Daily Wire surveillance in PA shows that scammers know how to bypass the fraud prevention system of Medicaid "home care" & doing so has become so common that people aren't even trying to hide it. Refugees are billing $80k+ without lifting a finger. READ:

It has been over 20 years now that clean energy has not been able to be a stand alone industry.
Clean energy is unreliable and expensive and will always need oil and gas as a back up.
Trump’s fossil fuel donors are making a fortune off his war, for sure. They are also making a fortune off his clean energy blockade. In both cases, you pay for it.

All our friars over 80 have to take a driving test each year, administered by our insurer. If they don't pass, they're done driving. Anyway, today one of them improved on the cognitive test for the 2nd year in a row so now he's convinced that he's on the way to super intelligence
Wait for their return and dump it all over their truck.

I ate so much armadillo as a child, every time I hear a car horn I curl up into a ball.
This is a human rights violation, men in women’s prison is just government approved mass rape. Worse, it’s rape, in the furtherance of a twisted, disgusting guise of compassion.
Here's a report on the Canadian government's reply to a lawsuit by a group of incarcerated women in which the government acknowledges dozens of accusations of sexual assault by male convicts (including rapists and murderers) who have been moved into women's prisons in order to affirm their claims to be women.
The government says that while they regret the rapes inflicted on women locked in cages with male rapists and murderers, these problems must weighed against the human rights of the male rapists and murderers to be recognized as women because the male rapists and murderers claim to be women.
Just one random of instance of that which you have been afforded the "staggering privilege" to rally around.
