- thfuran 2y agoBut everyone knows that "free" in this context means publicly funded. Free as in beer never meant that the entire production of the beer somehow was accomplished without financial or material input.
- _heimdall 2y agoThat doesn't hold up even just in this comment thread. Higher up when I asked who pays for it the reply I got was "Not anyone". The person really didn't seem to get that " free" == publicly funded == taxpayers pay for it.
- thfuran 2y agoNo, they said that not just anyone can get in for free; there's an admission test.
