gollark: <@!330678593904443393> Somewhat, sure!
gollark: My problem with the whole free-college/university thing (again, see here: https://slatestarcodex.com/2015/06/06/against-tulip-subsidies/) is that it's just propping up what seems to basically just be an expensive and time-consuming signalling scheme at great cost.
gollark: Frequently.
gollark: Er, I was talking about university/college being a nigh-pointless signalling thing.
gollark: As I said, iŧ appears to mostly be a nigh-pointless signalling thing.
