GodlessCommieThere's always money in the banana stand
TheFrogThatFliesSomeone is profiting from the war and no one profits from those other things
Simply not true. All those reforms would be a huge economic stimulus to all of those sectors. Imagine how much activity would be generated in all of those sectors, and activity equals money.
The problem isn’t profit, it’s that those things help people, and more importantly, it EMPOWERS them, and MAGA doesn’t want that. They wants us to remain weak and struggling, and dependent on them.
We have the money, it is just managed by people who want to spend it on enslaving us instead of freeing us.
Also “universal college” gives all companies a huge pool of skilled and specialized workers.
This is the reason we have public schools in first place. Government is not “thinking of the kids.” Corporate simply profits from literate population that do basic math and use technology.
Ideally companies like amazon would pay a portion of the extra profits they made back into the education through taxes, but in practice we reject free school lunches because “Education is a privilege.”
Unfortunately, that’s Old School thinking. The new mindset among the Sociopathic Oligarchs is that we won’t need education in the future since AI and robotics is going to replace nearly all of us in the workforce. Thus, education to create productive workers is no longer necessary.
Instead, it will be more important to use education for political indoctrination, so we will better accept & support our slavery and exploitation, and not understand enough about our society to be able to fight back.
