The U.S. Navy has seen its ship production drop to a 25-year low, falling behind Chinese production even as the service faces increasingly complex threats around the world.
China created a booming solar industry by subsidizing it heavily. We can do that too with other industries, and the subsidy can come in the form of trades education.
If we’re talking about altering society on a mass scale, you’re damned right I care about measurable outcomes.
I value freedom. I value economic consent. If you’re going to use centralized power to forcibly trade me something else for a loss of those two, the the other thing needs to be measurable.
You were characterizing what I value, as a conservative. I’m agreeing; I’m not interested in “qualitative benefits”, that are not also quantifiable. Use of government power to alter the world must be justified with measurable metrics.
I am not a conservative wtf… my body of work speaks for itself. What are you basing this clown take on?
they don’t speak to the qualitative benefit of educating a population.
This is benefit in the room with us right now?
All I see is increasingly improvised and indebted population, working longer hours, getting less benefits… people are not forming families. People can’t afford rent.
Now show me this benefit you are talking about, dear!
What is the qualitative risk of an educated population?
Debt slavery which solid part of millennials is currently suffering.

Not every job requires a college degree, but since we have made it available to anyone with a pulse, employers are pushing for them even when they provide no value. I have seen a stupid job posting for a master’s degree for a 20-an-hour job. The degree isn’t required for a license or some other practical reason.
, but since we have made it available to anyone with a pulse
Who is this “we”? Are you owner of a company? Because I am not, I made not such decisions. Did you you?
Employers start pushing for this shit starting 40 years ago and people respond as manufacturing jobs go eroded. so THEY made it a requirement for secretary needing an English major… trying getting that job with out a BA lol
No, we poured tons of government money into making college accessible. I went to college on loans designed for that purpose.
We valued college and we backed the notion with hard cash. Well, with forced loans.
It drove the price of college through the roof though. Just like housing, just like medicine, just like all the other things we provide government money to help people get.
It’s a consistent pattern. People don’t trust the free market, something is deemed too important to let the market handle, so we pump government money into purchasing assistance and, predictably to anyone who’s taken macroeconomics 101, the prices of those things skyrocket and the availability drops.
Well we spent 30 years valuing college… How did that work out?

Anyone who had a social security and blood pulse could go to college and that’s what happened.
1/3 failed out,1/3 doing jobs which don’t require a college degree.
1/3 benefited to varying degree.
Do you think we needed note millennials in college.
That is the problem—too many unqualified people in the pipeline.
The problem is that there are not enough well paying jobs to support this “educated” population esp with a ton of debt.

agreed.

We, as in the collective America. We voted for the people who decided to make loans available to everyone.
Americans have marginal impact on any policy fed government pushes.
Colleges collude with industry to create debt slaves here though
