How about instead of “free” college we provide “free” trade school instead?
AI is taking over all the BS woke jobs anyway, but electricians, plumbers, and carpenters will be needed for a long time.
I just want to point out… the amount of money the U.S. has spent on war in the last 2.5 months is roughly the same cost that Bernie Sanders proposed for universal college. So the real question is never ‘can we afford it’… it’s what we choose to prioritize.
