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.
