The Covid-19 Info thread (keep politics out please)

Agree with this statement wholeheartedly. Where we differ is on what those things are. I'm not for true communism (and I think this keeps getting puppeted because early in the thread I made a point to show extendedcab why imposing his religious beliefs are in bad faith on the government. He doesn't want to follow his religion if it doesn't serve him.

As for education, last I checked it's free public education up to 18... no? When we get into college institutions that's where we keep seeing the dollar amount go higher and higher. And the quality going down is a matter of perspective. For the top, quality sure goes down, but for the bottom we create a safety net and bring that quality up. It's kind of a ****ed up proposition really. How low are we willing to let our worst fall to allow our highest reach their heights? The answer to that is the root of our difference of opinion.

On education I meant college/university education. As for letting "our worst" fall ... a lot of that is up to them. Grown folks gotta take some responsibility. Now you can make some argument to their environments growing up ... but we do help out a lot of folks with various subsistence programs. But I know quite a few others that take advantage of those just cause they don't wanna work.
