Shouldn't the government do more to promote equality? The current approach makes possible to arbitrage at scale when the government can
* bring in a large number of already educated (for free or _much_ cheaper) foreigners
* often from an upper middle class background in their home countries
* progressively lower the bar on the secondary education for Americans to jeopardize their chances of competing with foreigners for STEM majors and eventually jobs in high-tech. Which hits the disappearing [lower] middle class the hardest.
* keep college education significantly more expensive than it is for the very same foreigners
- bobthepanda 4y ago* part of the problem is that education is not funded much federally but mostly by cash strapped states and localities, and there are many reasons why politicians and parents may not want local control or funding to be loosened. * part of the problem is that there are huge segments of politicians who are not interested in or do not want equality, and to that end even actively try to destroy education
- slt2021 4y agoamericans can do the same - move to Europe for college and get higher education for a fraction of cost/almost free. then come back debt free with great education. I dont understand why Americans are not taking advantage of these arbitrage opportunities. You don't need government to do anything for you, just take your destiny in your own hands
