no Pika
through the goverment
oh okay
Obama banned private loans for school
also just make the loan performance based
FAFSA
is performance based but it doesn't matter
if loans went away, colleges prices would plummet, but they'd be out of reach for some
so you need to mantain some level of available funding
but you need to ensure it can't be spent at institutions who are price gouging
aka, unis with 40% admin costs and stupid unchecked spending
if you can't afford college then go to trade school or get an apprenticeship
fuck that Leg
then trade schools get flooded and they start upping costs
College shouldn't be a multi-generation endevour
become an electrician then go get an electrical engineering degree
I am a proponent of not going out and doing something just to make money so I cannot agree
if you want to go to some university and study pure math you should be able to if you have the aptitude to do so
and the money to pay for it
that's like saying we should have parents pay for K-12
it's a dumb libertarian ideal
again, if your system was less fucked that would not be an issue
like privatizing roads
4 years of school for me is about 10k in loans
that is repayable
you subsidize with taxes though Pika
it's not free
i'd advocate for publicly funded college if there was a way to restrict the degrees that are funded by it to STEM
you have the same problems we do, where colleges spend unchecked
and business
the government just foots the bill
also true
university president here makes 400k a year
Fuck that Leg, I don't want to factory farm degrees
that's what Europe does, and it sucks
@Traps are gay is this accurate?
Actually you should just do what my university does, only get donations from engineers so you build a new engineering building every year
we are up to E9
with plans for E10
The craziest thing I hear from leftists
is about cars
I don't get it
they want to ban private ownership of cars
Spooky just mandate everyone owns a shared tesla
climate change btfo'd
that's just it
I don't get it
why are "fleet cars" somehow their ideal
it's a literal dystopia
not owning a car
being at the whim of future Uber
just take the bus
bus gang
Kappa
yeah focus on that and let China dominate space
sounds fun
china will be gone in like 2 months
they are a non issue
they will be gone to space
We don't have the technology to do Space right
thats the issue
maybe if astrophyicists would not have yet another fucking convention and set of notation
we would be farther
Instead of pissing away billions on space shit, I'd rather focus on other emergent technology... that might more realistically pan out
like wireless energy transfer from solar collectors in orbit
I think you should just let elon musk piss away portions of his money on space shit
That sounds hella saffe
and he can be in charge of that
thats what china is working on
totally not as a weapon
I'm way more interested in pushing the boundaries of computing, or energy, or material science, or biochemistry
computing is basically a race to quantum computers atm
we're doing all of those too
energy is going towards fusion
material science and biochemistry is worrying about better batteries
I'm not excited by Space, like I used to be
I don't see a realistic endgame with our current tech
