i made a comment just a bit ago about finally getting free higher edu in the states and if offered on public dime, campuses cant house everyone and eventually highschool edu will need to be expanded another 4 years.

Think its funny they're building this latest school like this. Lot other local fun bits about closing hug high (thug high as known since its the "poor ppl" school) and converting it into technical school and buying out a failed golf course to build this thing. my buddy bids on these types of contracts and loves them. such great money makers and keeps himself employed now that tesla has halted all construction... well besides the fix after fix shit due to poor planning... but i suspect when it comes to dollars when providing free shit a extended high school edu will be the answer
- MOOC classes are basically free, I think you can get an MBA for like $900robotron3k
- even that seems expensive but for the rigamaroll of it probably a real cost********
- you're still not getting it ... offering free college does not automatically admit everyone into college, ffsmonospaced
- if anything it just makes the schools more competitive with students who normally wouldn't apply for financial reasons, finalyl applyingmonospaced
- If you're going around saying that free college means that all schools have to admit everyone, then you're a moron.monospaced
- lol @ the term 'free'—you call folks 'morons' over an admittance discussion but openly (moronically) use the term 'free' as if that's even an appropriate word.PonyBoy
- And what's the point in scraping money from the public and calling it 'free' if it's not for the public on the whole?PonyBoy
- mono you don't understand economics or common sense. would it be politically viable to cap all colleges at certain head counts?********
- would colleges? it would be in the college's best interest to make as many seats as possible and lower acceptances********
- until access is accessible to anyone who wants it. And why would anyone not take it? We know those with degrees tend to look for others with degrees even knowin********
- their own was a waste of time. so that culture also helps reinforce more not to turn it down. What in your mind do you think "free" education is? and how********
- exactly would it be funded at the federal level? Do you think every class from every school would count towards free? Will schools have to offer majors only********
- covering fed level pay? You know how big of a clusterfuck medicare is right? and how that free money begins to be gamed and change the entire market?********
- usually skyrocketing the price. But layout what you think would happen and why because we are clearly thinking 2 different things********
- and take as many side notes as you want or do a big post. this one might need a big post.********
- what not going there mono :( .too tough********
- yup, you clearly don't comprehend the very basic concept, insisting wrongly that free college means seats for everyone ... done here, you are wrongmonospaced
- all it means, if you bothered to look, is that state schools would be subsidized fully by gov., not that harvard has to allow anyone above a certain GPA, ffsmonospaced
- it means that anyone who would normally be excluded from an opportunity based on money alone would now have one, and there are spaces availablemonospaced
- it doesn't mean there won't be fierce competition, because there will ... that's what you're somehow idiotically not comprehending. Too tough? Go to college.monospaced
- I'm not even defending it, but I do feel compelled to at least help define it, because you are getting a fundamental about it totally wrong. You're welcome.monospaced
- no you still don't get it. If a state school is subsidized fully by gov it would be based on head count. If head count means more money, why would a school not********
- increase its ability to grow it's head count? are you telling me schools are not very interested in money or growth right now? that they dont have lazy rivers********
- and shit to grow user base? You think free education for all would be no different than it is now but its free for those who go? that it wouldnt change any********
- market forces? if you believe that than you really don't understand markets and people. But if you want a little learnin go back to bush's no child left behind********
- see how that worked out. what funding did to schools and all that, even with tryin to tie it to merit based stuff.********
- And tuition is only out of hand because of gov trying to help out. throwing money at the problem and setting up poor incentives. destroying the market********
- but you know all that with the higher education act because you are one of those really really smart college fellas right. More of the same poison never works********
- especially when trying to masquerade as a free market system with choice. only way to control the rampant costs is get tyrannical. dictate it choose who can go********
- where and when. what they learn, a set list of things taught and little deviation. let that mao shit in. embrace what it is you want and stop half steppin.********
