Workers over 50 are the new 'unemployables'

12. "ooh, but there's a crisis in STEM education & critical thinking skills...

because college grads today will cycle through on average 7-8 different jobs before they retire!"

Neoliberal apologia #14.
(and the big lie through which universities can squeeze money out of federal funding agencies)

And the worst irony of this in university leadership circles is how the real critical thinking, and speaking, which would be to speak truth to the actual corporate oligarchy instead of providing it cover, is silenced and punished.

Foucauldian . . internalize the discourse of supposed subversion and institutionalize and mainstream identity politics so that human subjects persuade themselves that they're actually thinking critically about anything.
