Calls for financial literacy to be taught at school?
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01-24/calls-to-make-financial-literacy-mandatory-in-schools/106257050

My op: Financial literacy is first and foremost the responsibility of parents. Schools are already ridiculously time poor, to be expected to add more content.

… but in a society where parents are failing to be responsible (because they lack time or literacy), and government are failing to properly fund and staff schools. Adding more content for teachers to drown in sounds like great idea. #sarcasmfont #AusPol #AusEdu

Should financial literacy be mandatory in schools?

In an increasingly complex financial world of buy-now-pay-later schemes, scams, and social media marketing, there are renewed calls for financial literacy to become a mandatory part of the school curriculum.

"Despite the generally strong support for democracy, there was an equally strong desire for radical change, with more people in most countries thinking the system was rigged in favour of the rich and powerful rather than working for everyone."

What? Do ordinary mortals think the neoliberal cosnsenus has failed us? How can this be? Look at all the wonderful things the billionaires have developed for us! #SarcasmFont

My wife just saw some dude jogging in Hollywood with an n95 on, and you won't believe this, but he was breathing just fine!

No struggle or huffin' and puffin'. It's like it's totally possible to do very normal things while protecting yourself!

Insane, I know RIGHT?!

"I don’t really have a problem with Premier Ford giving away Ontario Place and the Science Centre, crippling hospitals and 12 hour ER waits, or spending more on his government and staff than any other government in #Ontario history, because now I don’t have to remember to renew my car registration anymore."

I should have gotten a ppp loan and paid off my student loans with it.

I mean, while they're throwing money around and all.

@luciedigitalni Just like the Kenya runners whinging about their cold, high altitude training locations, and wanting to run along the Gold Coast Esplanade instead.
