okay I've just got to do a little video here I had a strange dream last night
today I think today's June 2nd 2nd or the 3rd maybe I'm not sure it's one of
those two days 2018 but the strange part about that was that I had this weird
dream and it was kind of like I was back in college maybe it's because I've been
doing so much reflection I don't know which I have then and so it took me it
had something to do with computer aided drafting and see back when I first moved
back to Iowa my dad said well why don't you do computer-aided drafting and so
what I said well what's that and he's like well yeah well you could transfer
the schematics of of old computer or of old old oh when they call it like the
plans to houses over onto a onto a computer basically is what it was so
there was some course for that in college and but but the thing is the
dream that I had you know that wasn't something that I decided I wanted to do
and now in hindsight I'm kind of thinking I'm glad that I didn't because
of the fact I'm thinking well like how long would that job of last because
computers can actually automatically generate drafts no so that job probably
doesn't even exist anymore that's what I'm kind of thinking but the weird part
about my dream was I would I had taken a course I signed up to take the course
and so I was going to college and so I showed up and was taking all these
classes and so then but the weird part is it's like it's dark it's like it's
dark in the classroom there's like no lights on but there's a bunch of people
there and so I'm in the classroom and I then like I'm following my my course
schedule and all that and so then like halfway through I get this note that
says well how come you've not been showing up for class
have been I've been showing up to all the classes and so they hand me this
note that says I haven't been showing up for my class at night and I'm thinking
well that's weird I've been showing up for all my classes and I've been passing
and getting A's and that's what my either a little printed sheet that they
give us they would print out a sheet that shows us our progress and we think
they'll get that at any time and so it was showing that I was getting like A's
and B's and stuff like that and so then they're like well no you haven't been
showing up for the the actual class at night and and so that I look and lo and
behold there's another class but they didn't tell me about it until halfway
through the curriculum that there was a night course that I was supposed to be
taking and so that I went and actually had to withdraw from that class because
of the fact that I'd already failed it so there was a class that are supposed
to be taking and that I had paid for off my Pell Grant and then halfway through
then I have to drop it that I ended up losing some of my money because of the
fact that which is from the Pell Grant because well what you know what you've
completed half like half they may they still make you pay for it even though
you haven't completed the course so they don't give you all your money back and
and that's what that's how it was to with what you need the courses that I
took back when I was brought into college but my dream was the same way
and so what kind of reminded me kind of reminded me of that maybe that's what
that is was like the birth of a memory that's how the birth of my memory came
in is in this particular dream of that a course that I didn't know about at night
then I learned about that I have to go withdraw from it or get an F that was
the choice either you would withdraw from the class and you don't get part of
your money back even though he didn't take the course
and and so I was thinking that's kind of a ripoff to in and of itself and you
know see that's taxpayer money there because that was part of a Pell Grant
taxpayer money and I'm thinking what kind of you know as so in that sense it
kind of reminds me of like if you don't cruise the I'm just comparing these
analogies these two analogies because like when you sign up for a cruise and
say that you can't go you don't get all your money back and that's the same
thing with college courses so say that you Eve you go or something comes up and
you have to withdraw and that's what was happening with the military and the
soldiers too because the soldiers that I know that was common in Germany you know
that was one of their biggest complaints they would take the course and and this
is free courses that they're getting so they don't they don't somebody has to
pay for it though the taxpayers are paying for it so they would sign up for
courses and but they wouldn't be able to complete them because what would happen
is they'd be going to a course and then they had to go to the field and then
they wouldn't be able to complete the course and and so that was a big
complaint that probably a lot of people don't know about and and I was oh maybe
that's kind of I'm kind of thinking that like here with you know how Walmart said
that they were going to offer their employees College free college or
inexpensive college and I'm thinking but when you're going to work and that's
what the biggest complaint the soldiers had was going to work
they don't have time they have families they have other things to do or what
they do so if the soldiers signed up then they ended up missing out on their
classes and I'm thinking now how many of Walmart employees are going to be able
to like if they have families and things that take care of aren't they going to
be in the same boat and what what kind of plan is that I'm one huh
but yeah it was kind of a it was strange it was so real and I've had surreal
dreams like that before in the past this isn't the first time it's like over my
decades I've had um I've had real dreams like that so yeah but I just wanted to
share that with you guys you know because when people are busy
with five which is expected well what good is free college when you don't have
time so say you're going to work you're working at retail working at Walmart
working working and you decide to take a course and then they call you in to work
and you can't know in what or say that the courses aren't scheduled the courses
you need aren't scheduled during your time then what go to the college courses
and that was the biggest complaint of the military was that you know of the
soldiers I talked to they said they were taking a course then either they would
get they would get sent down range which is deployed somewhere or they would have
field duty and so then they would end up missing out so what really what good is
it if they can't utilize it what good is a college education when they can't
utilize the actual degree or you know complete the work but yet colleges still
get paid the teachers still get paid do you are you guys here you know here in
something here here in a common denominator here the colleges and the
teachers still get paid at taxpayer expense and you know so and I have to
wonder I'm wondering I'm just wondering you know about some of this stuff where
some of them with with some of these companies who incentivize I'm just
wondering where some of the money comes from like have they tapped into some
grant money I mean it is that possible or you know like when you well you know
okay like when they have these campaigns of okay we're gonna hire soldiers then
there's grant money that's been set aside for them to hire soldiers and so
then there's like a key word they're investing in keywords and not people but
that's what I learned the other day from watching this show the boob tube yes I
was watching a show they said they're investing in keywords not people they
said so which which generates trends and so it's like well what so they don't
have to advertise so when you're when you're marketing and you've got
everybody talking about something then it generates trends in the search engine
and so a lot of these companies are being cheap they don't want to advertise
they don't want to pay their employees they don't want to do living wages and
that's what Bernie talks about all the time now this is just stuff I've kind of
figured out on my own I sit back and watch those of us who sit back and watch
are dangerous and and I say that figuratively weird and dangerous because
we're using our brain and so when we ask questions we get banned from when we ask
intelligent questions we get banned that's what's been happening to a lot of
women and even men too but primarily women right now are a lot of women who
ask smart questions the questions get ignored and so yeah if you if you ask a
smart question you get overlooked but if you do something really stupid
that's exploited yeah I see that you know that that's that's exploited so
yeah so anyway let me know what you think
