Or should I just start casually addressing how nearly everything in society has turned into a pathetic money-making scheme that under-delivers on every single broken promise.

Oh and creates GOVERNMENT DEPENDENCY aka slavery.

Why aren't textbooks free? Government funded video archives of recorded lectures would not be nearly as expensive to produce as all these wasteful expenditures for gender programs in Pakistan.

Even uploading lectures to a corporate video site could at least monetize them with ads.

The answer is: Nobody wants "free education". They just want to scam people into thinking they do so they can scam them more.

Is anyone else sick of this?

Why am I pretending to debate people who aren't interested in actually providing professional and classical "education" to as many people as possible on the lowest cost possible? Or even debating what's useful in schools.

Everybody who goes into government always wants the most wasteful, expensive, least efficient, self-destructive thing possible.

Can we just address this and fix it?

Why are people learning about sex, race, drugs, and "black lives" at all instead of basic skills in economics, budget, shooting, sewing, basic electronics, etc?

The "education" industry is ruining everybody.

We could stop subsidizing textbooks.

The best instructor I had in college didn't use a textbook to teach, but just to give us all problems to work. The man had knowledge of the entire field.

The textbooks are highly subsidized and change editions every few years to prevent reselling. We can definitely bring textbook prices down. It's just that the publishers and Democrats are in bed together. Big Pharma is like that too. We could get affordable medicines and healthcare, but they get so much money from working with Democrats that it just won't happen.
