    First, your formatting is completely broken.

    Second:

    The places where real power concentrates, where the old royalty gathers. Not the best in terms of scientific endeavours, but that’s not what those places are about anyway. It’s all about making connections.

    I.E. completely irrelevant. Got it.

    Double minimum wage in the USA is barely enough to cover rent in the cities

    The fix seems pretty obvious, eh?

    would add $553 billion

    I.E., even ignoring the fact that not all students would require this monetary assistance, less than the budget for the 'murican war machine. Seems fine to me.

    you’re quickly paying 85% of the $30k you’re receiving in tuition fees alone

    ??? Why would they be paying the tuition fees with free public education available?

      I think I fixed it. Hope Lemmy gets a WYSIWYG editor one of these days.

      I.E. completely irrelevant. Got it.

      Depends on your country and the career you’re aiming for. Private educational facilities specialising in finance and econometry tend to educate their students much better.

      The fix seems pretty obvious, eh?

      Yes, just convince half of the USA to vote differently, and for the left-wing party to actually become left-wing rather than just making empty promises. Can’t be that hard, both parts only have been trying to do that for the last 300 years!

      I.E., even ignoring the fact that not all students would require this monetary assistance, less than the budget for the 'murican war machine. Seems fine to me.

      The 'murican war machine is what’s preventing Russia’s invasion into Europe right now. It also provided education and possibilities to countless Afghan women before some idiot decided to undo the work they’ve been doing in one fell swoop. It’s got its upsides.

      Also, the people being paid those $750 billion dollars will need to find new jobs. I guess they can try to become professors?

      ??? Why would they be paying the tuition fees with free public education available?

      Fair enough, I suppose; I was influenced by the way this works in my country. Just add the amount that they don’t have to pay to the billions I calculated before if the state funds the educational facilities directly. Quick napkin math leads me to about $283 billion dollars on top of your study grants.
