How can people efficiently move with it when the cost of college/higher education is what it is?

By making retraining/advancement programs cost-prohibitive, we are creating and perpetuating a permanent underclass. Particularly when we are also defunding and attacking public K-12 education

It does not seem prudent or accurate to blame the working class for the societal conditions in which they exist
