That means education is heavily subsidized or free. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] ChilledPeppers@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago Yep, such developed atios as Brazil... The US is a joke. permalink fedilink source parent [–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 months ago (3 children) Someone is still paying thousands for that PowerPoint reading, just not you directly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] 4am@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago (1 child) No, many many ones are paying literally fractions of a penny for that PowerPoint reading, and it’s damn well worth it. Unless you prefer a Bourgeois class that strangles the working man with taxes that go to oil subsidies and wars over said oil. I’ll take smart and sane people over whatever the fuck we’ve been doing in America for the last 40 years permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago* (1 child) The fact that many people pay a little for something is not an excuse to waste that money. Quite the contrary, if you are taking everyone's money to do it you are obligated to do it right. What I want is that education money te be well used. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] 4am@lemmy.zip 1 point 2 months ago I can agree fully with that! permalink fedilink source parent [–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (1 child) Still reduces the cost drastically to society, the whole exploitative college middle-man charging $150k for a degree is gone because the government says "fuck you, degrees are $40k or you don't get govt places for your course", and lo and behold.. Suddenly the same courses are $40k. Just like how the US healthcare advocates cry that "free healthcare is socialism that overburdens the taxpayer" - and yet in countries with socialised healthcare they pay 1/4 of what the US pays for the same health outcomes and usually even less for literally the exact same medicine from the same companies. Collective bargaining. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] daniskarma@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago Yeah, I agree with socializing education, healthcare and a lot of things. But again, not because it's a bargain for society means that we should allow lousy teachers in it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 1 point 2 months ago No!
