Either we figure out a way to fund education properly like taxes (which we already pay so it's a matter of relocating money at the government level only) or we end up in a system with millions of stupid people unprepared and unable to contribute to society enough to survive, let alone enough to give something back. We're already most of the way there and the society that we're creating, a society that values stupidity over knowledge yet feels entitled to all the benefits of knowledge and the technology knowledge creates, is frightening. The anti-intellectualism is frightening. The stupidity and almost inevitable poverty and violence that follow are even more frightening. You'd think the government would be more concerned about such a situation and would want to fix this, but like most political issues in our stupid-first society, this has become a partisan issue. I hope we figure out how to stop being a stupid-first society and figure out how to advance in the world before we turn the whole country into the third world shithole most of rural America has already become.
