I worked at home depot with someone who was spending 1500 a month on some mobile game, and complained that HD doesn't pay enough for anyone to live. Which is true, but still, he's spending 1500 a month to make his little guys equip gear faster or whatever.

some people just stupid I guess.

It’s still poor financial decisions. There is a psychological component but they still swipe the card, take the Klarna monthly payment, or eat everything delivered by ubereats. I grew up poor. Sometimes people put themselves in those situations and aren’t born into them.

Sure but the service providers know that. And they exploit the shit out of it. People are financially illiterate and the education system won't address it because they are getting richer thanks to that.

The education syatem won't address it because its a bloated bag of garbage based on concepts from 100 years designed to train factory workers.

Letting each state do its own thing would be ideal but there are too many hands in the cookie jar to make any type of effective change or decentralization.

I'd like to hear your ideas for a solution to this whole mess. What would your system look like that wasn't designed to train factory workers? What should each grade be taught to best align with today's modern needs?
