    The irony is that the US actually does spend more per capita on education than pretty much any other nation, but only because we’ve gutted public funding in favor of private providers and schools.

    Same for our healthcare.

    Our basic services are insanely expensive because we refuse to socialize them like a normal fucking country.

    The result is hypocritical conservative headlines like the above that amount to a “NO SERVICES FUNDING, ONLY EDUCATED WORKFORCE” version of the frisbee dog meme.
