      Show proof of causation and stop bringing up correlation like it means the same thing. Braindead takes like yours would see us ban ice cream just because ice cream sales are positively correlated with violent crime.

          People being poor because they don’t have a college education is something that needs proof now?

          Every claim needs to be backed up. Correlation does not equal causation, period

              Just admit you don’t have proof and you’re not going to do your due diligence to obtain it. How dare you blather about the importance of education while shitting on one of the first and most important things you learn in college. Correlation does not equal causation. Experiments are required to prove a causal relationship, not just statistics. Get that into your head. End of discussion.
