gollark: Given the magnitude of the increases, hold on while I pull up a graph, I think it may *not* be worth it.
gollark: Not really. It was just cheaper. We still have subsidies for it here.
gollark: But the question is: is it actually worth it/do we get better education out of it per $?
gollark: If you look at historical pricing of this sort of level of education, IIRC it has increased *massively* since... 40 years ago?
gollark: I like this! It plays perfectly to governments' strengths!
