gollark: But as of now governments are really bad at their job.
gollark: Well, if you make a better, smarter government, we can talk about having it do more things then.
gollark: At least it's better than a government just throwing money at the system to try and give everyone a degree they might not actually *need* in a sensible market which didn't discriminate that way.
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.
