We do not. A banking company recently applied for a banking license to provide full reserve banking ('narrow banking') and their license denied. The government makes it illegal to make a bank immune to failure when they contract

Social intelligence is how you capture all of the added value of a trade, leaving none for the other guy. But you have to generate value in the first place, otherwise you can use social intelligence only for theft.

The main conservative complaint is that without competition for your tax money, public schools are at best a democraticly controlled monopoly with captive consumers. Middle grounds like keeping public schools but let them compete with priv

Arithmetic is sufficient math for at least half of workers for the foreseeable future. Realistically if you can read/write, do arithmetic, show up on time, follow orders, and put in effort you can succeed in most trades.
