    Imagine if the ultra rich just paid their taxes so this kind of situation could be guaranteed instead of on the whim of someone who made their fortune on the backs of others.

      To logical, we live in the age of unbridled emotion. I mean, think of Musks fanboys. You really want to hurt them by taking their god-kings money away? He needs that money to validate their worship.

      I agree with you btw

        If humanity makes it to the point where historians can really examine this time period, I can’t decide if they’ll call it the Age of Uncertainty, the Age of Untruth, or the Age of Emotional Derangement

          Hey, if things turn around, and Im keeping hope, they might just call it ‘the age of emergance’ - emergance refering to a new and better paradigm for how humanity operates and treats itself

          I want techno-druids!

    This is wonderfully generous; though, it illuminates the outrageous costs of education in the US. We as a society should value education as intrinsically valuable and even if not, a more educated populace is valuable in so many ways, not the least being economically.
