Comment on The cost of college in USA makes no sense anymore
SoftTeeth@lemmy.world 5 days agoThey have you advocating for the devil instead of wanting a better system.
Nobody should pay money for education. The government should finance schools directly as public services like most civilized countries.
It’s completely unreasonable to expect literal children to do future cost benefit analysis and gamble with their degrees.
Tying min wage to inflation would also fix these wage issues.
But tbh nothing will meaningfully improve until the rich fear for their lives

I’m not arguing for anything, I’m stating how the system works and that college should be a careful consideration and not necessarily a default. Nobody was arguing the position you’re taking. Yes, education should be free, I’m all for it, and cost/benefit is exactly the hurdle that I stated should be considered based on the criteria I mentioned. Until school is free and easy to attend, this is the hand we’re dealt.

Cool we all know how the system works, you saying it when it’s not needed implies you are supporting and reinforcing it.
You are implying you agree with it by playing devils advocate.
And that’s conditioning to prevent solutions to probems.

I think this thread is pretty good evidence that not all college is helpful
