"They don't want a population of people capable of critical thinking. They don't want that. It doesn't help them, it's against their interests. They don't want people who are smart enough to sit around a kitchen table and figure out how badly their getting f****d by the system. You know what they want? OBEDIENT WORKERS. Obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paper work, and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly s**tier jobs with the lower pay, the longer hours, the reduced benefits, and the vanishing pension that disappears the minute you go to collect it. It's a big club - and YOU AIN'T IN IT!" - George Carlin
He's talking about my last job.
