The Critical Thinking Room

I have had a couple of things on my mind after someone said "I always fall up". I wanted to talk about how life is just not fair and we have to work for what we want in life, jealousy is deadly! I truly believe that less struggle comes from grit, it is never accepting failure or less than what is desired. I hope you can learn something from this episode to help you meet your goals! 

Remember, everyone will always pick themself over you. 

Society has social pillars that are made by religious beliefs, culture, worldly beliefs, and things we desire but have you ever thought about how governments or big corporations want to influence you and divide us through social pillars of you vs me? That is what we are gonna talk about in today's episode, we need to stand as one and not fall victim to false social pillars.

This episode talks about if government healthcare is worth it, would we be better off without it? 

Do you think governments spending over 40% of their budgets worth it or where should we spend it? 

If you could save that extra 2,300 dollars a year not having to pay for someone else's healthcare, what would you spend it on?

In this episode of the critical thinking room, we talk about facts on why college costs are rising and some personal opinions on debt to income ratio, and deciding if the rising cost of college is even worth paying.
