        No, many many ones are paying literally fractions of a penny for that PowerPoint reading, and it’s damn well worth it.

        Unless you prefer a Bourgeois class that strangles the working man with taxes that go to oil subsidies and wars over said oil.

        I’ll take smart and sane people over whatever the fuck we’ve been doing in America for the last 40 years

          The fact that many people pay a little for something is not an excuse to waste that money. Quite the contrary, if you are taking everyone’s money to do it you are obligated to do it right.

          What I want is that education money te be well used.

        Still reduces the cost drastically to society, the whole exploitative college middle-man charging $150k for a degree is gone because the government says “fuck you, degrees are $40k or you don’t get govt places for your course”, and lo and behold… Suddenly the same courses are $40k.

        Just like how the US healthcare advocates cry that “free healthcare is socialism that overburdens the taxpayer” - and yet in countries with socialised healthcare they pay 1/4 of what the US pays for the same health outcomes and usually even less for literally the exact same medicine from the same companies.

        Collective bargaining.

          Yeah, I agree with socializing education, healthcare and a lot of things.

          But again, not because it’s a bargain for society means that we should allow lousy teachers in it.
