And remember killing the Gracchi was also sacrilegious, since the tribunate was an office protected from harm, punishable by death. They also served as a “check” on the senate. We see though when the established elite come under threat, all those fanciful ideas are thrown out.
Our Founding Fathers recognized this cycle and took pains to study it and think of a way to prevent it. As did other founders before and since. In a perverse way Marxism, Fascism, Nazism are all ways to address this cycle. Perhaps this cycle is inevitable and is a manifestation of something as deeply rooted in us as physics, genetics, or original sin. Yet so is the urge to grasp for that which may be unreachable.
You showed statistics where CS and Computer Engineering grads had by far the lowest underemployment rate compared to other fields shown as an argument for why you shouldn’t go into those fields. A bit of a dubious conclusion to gather from those statistics.
It‘s no secret firms over hired post covid, and now with the future economic uncertainty and AI nonsense the field is in a hiring slowdown, particularly for new grads who typically lack specialized skills and knowledge most firms are looking for. The conclusion CS students should get from this is that they can’t rely on their degree alone to cary them, they have to develop and specialize their skillset and knowledge base. Recessions and economic slowdowns happen and it can affect this field now, too. Thats about all there is to gather from this: the field is not as recession proof like as it was in 2009. Welcome to the labor market.
Our Founding Fathers, and many founders prior, new of this dynamic tragedy. The attempt to build a framework to prevent it has been tried many times. It is starting to appear that it may be inevitable. Yet we continue to grasp for that which seems to be unreachable, also inevitably

G ok ad you thought so! Thanks
If we want a first world country we must pay first world compensation.
And Shakespeare was wrong: “first, let’s kill all the” oligarchs.
Indeed
And haha, lots of overlap with the original and the edit, and I say that as a lawyer
Augustus pretended the Roman republic still existed when in fact it had already passed on. Are we now in a similar position?
