More gov handouts

In my industry there is a thing called the $100 gig which was used to describe an informal engagement that was not very long and didn't take any prep. It was a $100 gig back years ago because you got a $100. It is still called a $100 gig today. Only many times it is a $75 gig.
I laugh when I see people live in a fantasy world; especially when its on someone else's dime.
I assume you've never left the states? Probably never left your own state.
Thanks, means the world to me.
Now, go run along and cash your welfare check, son.
You mom hasn't dropped it off yet, but she's usually up late after working all night.
LMAO. She has to work all night, along with everyone else who has to provide for all the parasites that live off other people's hard work..
Well, she's a trooper. And once you get promoted to register things will improve, I promise.
Countries with free higher education.
Europe
Europe
- Norway: Tuition is not only reduced or free for citizens but also international students. Taxpayers’ money covers attendance to state universities, but the tradeoff is higher living expenses.
- Sweden: Although previously offered to all students, their tuition is now only free to citizens and European students. There was an increase in scholarship programs to compensate.
- Germany: Some universities have recently begun charging some tuition fees, but the majority of them still offer free education to all students, even international. They may ask for a small contribution each semester, but it is nowhere near the price of full tuition.
- Denmark: All Danish citizens are offered scholarships and aid, but most colleges are entirely free. They offer their programs to citizens, European students, and students with certain visas.
- Finland: Finland is a country that offers completely free education and only charges fees to non-European students that wish to take classes in English. Living expenses are not covered.
- Austria: Not quite a tuition-free country, but very close. Tuition and school fees are very low for citizens and European students with a slight increase for non-European students.
- Greece: Free education is available for citizens of Greece and European students; international fees are very low in comparison to regular tuition fees in other countries.
- France: Not free, but very low. If you are native to France or Europe, you will only be paying a few hundred euros. International fees do go up to thousands per year.
- Uruguay: Education is free to all Uruguay citizens. In common South American fashion, it does not extend to European or non-European students.
- Brazil: University-level education is free for all students, even international students. Just be prepared to take all classes in Portuguese as they do not offer English.
- Argentina: Free education is only offered to Argentinian students and citizens; it is not available for international students.
- Panama: Free to all students, with no concern for nationality. That includes citizens, Europeans, and all international students.
- Malaysia: Not surprisingly as free tuition is uncommon within Asia, free education is only available to Malaysian citizens.
- Morocco: Free tuition to all citizens, but does not outreach to international students.
- Egypt: Also, only free tuition to all citizens, but not to international students. Their programs are meant to decrease poverty within their country.
- Kenya: Different than other African countries, they allow free education for citizens and also to international students. International students are limited to public tuition if they’re high-scoring secondary school students.

He thought this was the Anything Butt Sports board.
Common mistake.

That it’s not a “fantasy world” where higher education is free - just a normal first world country.
Free education sounds like a grand idea. But there are entrance requirements at many of those countries that have free higher education. These include minimum gpas and test scores.
My friend studied in UK when higher ed was free and it was difficult to get into the University and be accepted. But he's very smart.
On the other hand his high school education was equivalent to a college degree in the USA. Most students in the USA could not hack that rigorous demand.
Additionally that free education does not include living expenses which far exceeds cost of tuition at FSU for example.
There's still plenty of ways to get a cheap education in the USA without going into massive debt. For example live at home and go to Junior college.
My friend's dad put himself through med school by working at a shoe store. Another doctor I met recently had a golf course worked in the steel mills in Pittsburgh to pay for his education. Unfortunately student loans increased the cost of education far higher than the rate of inflation and it's much more difficult to pay your way through college by working.
And like free medicine in places like the UK, rationing is a result.

That’s great, except that you can’t do that anymore. The cost of higher education has risen much faster than the increase in wages.
I can't wait to read the doctoral thesis of the right-wing voters. (See, I can through a blanket over an entire group too.)
Your back peddling now is amusing. Your initial post said "leftist" which covers more than your new stated group of the progressive left. You threw a blanket over a large group of people in an insulting manner.
Oh. You meant it. Got it. I must work on my mind reading skills.I said progressive leftist. Or, I meant it. Can’t see what I wrote now since you edited it. As you know, I often write then edit to increase clarity of message. It’s not an insult to call the current progressive left economically challenged. It is a large group of people. Progressive leftism is a populist movement. As was trump’s politics. Populism is where ignorance hangs out, historically.
exactly the below:

Zero-sum thinking was adaptive in a world of tribal conflict, but isn’t in a modern society.www.wsj.com
And why is that? Why has the cost of education risen more than the cost of just about anything compared to inflation?
"How College Prices Ballooned Over 40 Years
In 1980, the price to attend a four-year college full-time was $10,231 annually—including tuition, fees, room and board, and adjusted for inflation—according to the National Center for Education Statistics. By 2019-20, the total price increased to $28,775. That’s a 180% increase."
. Reasons listed in the article.
. One factor is less state funding. To make college nearly free provide more State funding for tuition.
. Side note MIT offers free college classes but you don't get college credit. Other reputable universities such as Purdue offer online degrees for very cheap. There are alternatives including community colleges.
. Three reasons listed.
1. Colleges Provide More Student Support Services
2. Changes in State and Local Funding
3. Overall Increase in Costs for Service Industries Like Education

College Tuition Inflation: Compare The Cost Of College Over Time

Between 1980 and 2020, the average price of tuition, fees, and room and board for an undergraduate degree increased 169%, according to a recent report from the Georgetown Univ
