Saying you'd rather be fired on the spot is really emotional and melodramatic. Some people depend on their income to feed their kids, so it's not all about making sure everyone feels happy and valued all the time. Saying you'

Recently, I accidentally spent $100 on tickets that should've cost $40 because I didn't realize ticketmaster was only reselling tickets, they weren't selling originals. No indication cheaper original tickets were available

It's more than that. The judge usually has a good relationship with the prosecution, and the judge is deciding on what the jury is allowed to see and what expert witnesses are allowed to testify as expert witnesses.

A lot of these problems come from deference to experts who wear the hat of science. For instance, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R_v_Adams a man was convicted because an expert said the DNA gave 1 in 200 million chance

I'm not sure the economics of paying for everyone's tuition, but I don't think this is the issue here. NYU has a $6 billion endowment (~100k/student, projecting modestly from Wikipedia's numbers) and costs nearly $4
