Yeah, I think, uhh, that something is very wrong with our whole country is actually the whole point of the meme?
If this is Los Estados Unidos then it's not surprising something is wrong. I still sincerely doubt what these guys are saying though. I suspect a lot of them either mismanaged their money badly or are just straight up lying. Nobody would work in academia in that country if things were that bad at every University.
i told him directly "Nobody is talking about whatever ivory tower caste system you are talking about" and he didn't listen
edit, clarity: it isn't normal to be British
I am telling you that even people further down in the hierarchy make good money. Either your academics are lying to you (which wouldn't suprise me people are fucking greedy) or something has gone very wrong in your country. If we are talking about American it's probably both of those things.
