> training the american workforce which is done with taxes Thats the entire point/undertone of my post. We have replaced crucially important aspects of society like integrating kids (Rites of Passage), apprenticeships, taking care of the elderly with federal soylent. > 16 years old a person in the United States is better educated and trained in all sorts of skills You cannot replace hard work, communication, conflicts, expectations, real time problem solving, handling pressure, social minutia etc with algebra and slicing a frog apart. > claim that such a person has "low economic output" I've never said that. My point was about people who got dealt a bad hand in life. Whether if its IQ, disability, upbringing etc. Society used to have a place for these people now its Federal Soylent™
