    My mistake. This policy is socdem stuff though, so leaning in the general direction of communism, and it’s been shown to improve educational outcomes better and more equitably than just about any solution out there while massively improving social mobility, and by extension, the concept of meritocracy.

    If a government has no interest in rolling this out properly or ability to do so for whatever reason, of course it’ll fail - but that’s not so much a failure of the policy - it’s a failure of the government. If they’re unwilling or unable to roll out good policy, I think it’s worth asking why.

      Government doing everything works better when the government has enough money for it, our taxes, with an already high tax burden, makes about 100 usd for person/month IIRC. There is no policy that will work around that
