Quote:Okay, so you take away poor people's phone. How does that help them get out of poverty, again?

 

Why would anyone work? Because going through college is work, and living expenses isn't meant as "they get party money". If someone really does think that learning is their calling then I don't care, that's fine, they should be able to live in their student apartment and take college courses for their whole life.

 

As for the rest, it wouldn't be free to society, but an educated populace creates a net benefit for society, so from the perspective of actual cost versus benefit, making education "free" for everyone would actually make it "free" for society, or even less than "free".

 

I didn't say take away their phones, I asked when did making sure they have phones become society's responsibility?

 

So you really believe that if people are given two options, go to school and keep a C average and your cost of living + cost of schooling are paid for OR go to work and pay for your own cost of living most would chose to work? I'm really starting to wonder if you're still in school?
