Well that's about the system in the USA or some third world countries. Locking higher education behind a paywall only helps to keep the population uneducated, combine that with no focus on critical thinking in school and you get a population that's easy to control and to polarise.
Of course politicians like Trump (or pseudo-democracies or straight up autocratic regimes in third world countries) really benefit from an easily-convinced population that's not questioning them too much, so, given how strong the republicans currently are, that sadly probably won't change anytime soon.
At some point they'll realise that they need free or at least very affordable education to stay internationally competitive...

Geht mir auch so, deshalb ist meine Schach-Spielzeit stark angestiegen.
Schach ist immer für dich da.
Geht am Brett oder online (Lichess).
Bringt dir Respekt wenn du jeden besiegst.
Ein kleines Schachbrett mit magnetischen Figuren ist perfekt für lange Zugfahrten. Einfach durchgehen und die Leute fragen, ob sie spielen wollen - irgendwer findet sich immer.
Alternativ einfach auf Lichess lokal spielen (jeder sitzt auf einer Seite des Bildschirms).

But learning to critically question statements and judging them yourself (which requires some knowledge, for example you can't question anti-vaxxers when you don't know anything about how vaccines work) instead of simply believing them is extremely important in a democracy.
I agree with her action, but still have to note that she did work against the law and constitution by ignoring the government's decision to vote against it. In this case it's good, but what if a far right politician does the same? They can now simply refer to this case and talk about how it also had no consequences.
👍 Deutschland war weltweit in der Photovoltaik-Industrie führend, bevor diese europaweit durch chinesische Importe fast komplett zerstört wurde. Die heimische Autoindustrie darf nicht fallen!
Witcher 3. The story is insanely good, just remember: your decisions matter (but don't look anything up).
Some people say it's hard to get into it and to be fair it is a bit complicated first but you don't have to use all mechanics, and it's well worth getting into it.
It just got an official mod creator (yes, that game from... 2015? (graphics from 2022 since there was a huge graphics update) still got a new update in 2024) and the community still is strong so it'll get even better over the next years.
