Sadly we here in the US seem to be on our way out. We've squandered nearly all of our advantages on the world stage other than sheer military strength. It's quite sad really.

Many moderates' mouths.

Another thing would be the ineptitude of our current political climate. Neither party, as a whole, wants change in the realm of college tuition. It's a minority faction within the current Democrat party that is lobbying for this type of change.
-
One last thing would be the colleges themselves. The last thing colleges want is less money. So they are lobbyinf their collective asses of to both parties to make sure nothing changes. If somehow and someway meangiful change is to happen it would honestly be for the federal government to pull funding from colleges who currently hold an excess number of adminstration/advisory positions. Positions that don't contribute to the betterment of the teaching. I know that that's an arbitrary statement but maybe someone smarter than me can provide a better metric for judging the necessity of an administrators postion vs cost of their continued employment.

Yeah nah, (imma about to get controversial) the reason we don't have "free education" is because the nation literally can't afford it due to our extensive miltary budget, current social programs, and ineptitude of the legislature to make any meaningful change in either direction.
-
On the military it simply comes down to the fact that we're quite literally the police of the world. We protect every nations trade oversea traderoutes with little to no direct monetary gain. We fight extremists on foreign soil solely to keep the extremists out of our country. On top of that the industrial complex surrounding the military provides too many jobs to americans to just pull the plug on.
-
On social programs things like flagrant and rampant abuse of EBT/Subsidies for low income people being used by those who don't need it poses a drain on our system. On top of that the most recent example for socialization of an industry (obamacare) being an outright disaster has left a severe distaste in

@famousone
Although you're the most contentious person I've ever had recurring conversations with I would say that I very much respect you as a person and your opinion even though i disagree with many of them, more in rhetoric than in actual practice, and I find you to be a no holds barred type of person. I like to be challenged every once in a while and you're a very good yin to my yang on many subjects.

@guest_
You're probably one of the more unique members I've had the pleasure of meeting. Unfortunately I don't alwaulys have time to read your many thesis' you comment on controversial topics but I often find them to be well written and thought out, even the ones I disagree with tend to provide me with a different perspective than I would otherwise have. All in all I like you my guy but for my sake I need a tldr on some of your comments lol

Imma just leave this here. My most memorable people on FS tend to be those whom I interact with the most and as I've progressed through the years I've become less involved with the site and in turn the new people. I do hope to correct that and have a positive interaction with more of you lovely people in the coming future.

I wanna start with @parisqeen. You honestly are one of the most genuine people I have ever met on the internet. You seem to me to be the type of person to go out of there way to make someone elses day, even a stranger at that, better.

@savage_demmigod
Although our interactions haven't been very plentiful I have personally enjoyed our brief talks in the past and on our conversations in relation to art and covid a couple months ago on the discord. You seem to be very solid to the earth type of person and overall a decent person, idk if that sounds much like a compliment or not lol.

For a lot of people it's either a personal connection, as you said, or a very niche fetish type thing. There's a lot of weird stuff people are into that doesn't exist in a large quantity, even on the internet.
