Sure, I guess post-secondary is the term usually used

Sorry, no. Genre doesn't require a specific theme. This is some literature vs pulp gatekeeping.

Best do nothing then!

So with the bullshit down and gloom, that's how they get away with never fixing anything. It's also a lot easier to trace insider trading when they go through a proxy.

No one is going to want to but some weird ass operating system

Oh man, were just speed running this recommend, aren't we? It's weird when people who, fully aware of how the French dealt with this "let them eat cake" bullshit... Actively work to recreate that scenario that didn't end well for their counter parts

Are old retirees rich, then? I wouldn't consider that accurate.

If you're not pulling in upper 6 figures from those investments, you're still not rich.

They mismanaged having the working class make enough to fund this program properly. But stagnant wages have meant the income to outgoing ratio has dipped to the point where the workers to retirees ratio is endangering the whole program. All while maintaining a cap on how much you need to contribute per year

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren't enough to make it sci Fi?

Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie... Wouldn't exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species

And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.

That was not a subtle theme...

Not really the opposite. We used to subsidize higher education. The non expungable debt was part of the "fix" for that issue that Reagan caused

Because Reagan defunded public secondary education. And then instead of fixing that in the late 90s/early 00s, they made school loans non expungable and federally guaranteed, so schools didn't need to keep their prices low and competitive anymore.

It always goes back to Reagan...
