Eliminating poverty is the only solution. Free college education will just create a demand for some other ridiculous scheme. I’d also be happy for both, but I think only one can work, but it would require retiring capitalism altogether as well.
- mandmandam 5y agoMany countries have free college education. Some even pay people to go. It works, and it's expected, and rightfully so. If America wanted, we could copy the best aspects of other countries higher education models - the rest of the world would love to see Americans better educated, and would likely be more than happy to help. It's not ridiculous, it's not a scheme. It's basic common sense, and an investment. The rest of the developed world laughs at America for charging so much for college. They really do. It's a common punchline. It would be funny to me too, if I didn't have a distaste for schadenfreude. And hell yeah. Let's retire capitalism before we lose the oceans, insects, birds, steady climate and a life worth living.
