And they are, they take away from the public education in funding, in staffing, and in voter support. Our society should not exist to cater to and benefit the wealthy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] soviettaters@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) Our society doesn't cater to them. They decided that public schools weren't good enough so they went and made their own. I completely agree with them, public schools do suck. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Deceptichum@sh.itjust.works 1 point 2 years ago Our society entirely caters to the wealthy, that isn’t even up for debate. And right, by them fucking off and using their wealth to create a counter-system they take away from the public system, and because the people with money (and actual influence) don’t use it, we don’t have the drive to fund it properly leading to it being shit.
