    Weird how quickly you backtracked from being a Trumpist poseur working class defender, to a defender of the wealth and estate of Kim Kardashian.

    France, Germany, Norway, Finland, Sweden have free, publicly funded college education.

    If they can afford it, so can we.

    Funny how the US is a wealthy nation until we ask it to help the people.

    Always with those types of majors. Why?

    Clearly either you never went to college, or you have never known a psychology major.

    The United States needs more than just electrical engineers and computer programmers.

    Psychology majors become social workers, mental health counselors, substance abuse counselor, et al. We need those too.

    No, psychology majors sit around smoking pot saying, "Wow, like humans are weird, right?!" All they do.

    That's harsh.

    Psychologists have their place academically, but psychiatrists are who you actually need to see if your want help.

    They write strong prescriptions which, as opposed to meandering discussions, are the real world solution to mental stress.

    Better living through chemistry, my friend.

    the vast majority of human problems are worked out in therapy, not by drugs. Not empirical, just my opinion.

    No one but you contributes to the world. What an egocentric worldview.

    If so, why your contempt for psychology?

    Therapy doesn't correct unbalanced brain chemistry, however.
    Prescriptions handle that.
