Just make universities public and they get funded by the tax payers directly.

Public universities are cheaper than private, but still too expensive to pay for using saving from a minimum wage summer job. There is no doubt that tuition costs are inflated, but the idea of how you make schools charge less money is complicated.

I don't want to take away from your other excellent points about the American economy, but I think you missed the point about public.

Public like schools. Public like free education for anyone bright enough to pass the entrance exams. Public like investing in the future talent of the nation. Public like genuinely free tuition.

It's cheaper than forgiving private loans because the banks don't earn any interest in the first place.

It won't happen in the USA of course, but that doesn't make it a bad idea.

You seem to be advocating that no one American even talks about taxing the wealthy so that there isn't a "pressure relief valve"?!

In the world of shit that is American politics right now, your solution, out of all the things that possibly change, is to silence anyone suggesting that just maybe there's a better way?

THIS?! This is what you would change? Remove even the discussion of anything even slightly left of the Clintons?!

Are you insane? Are you Nancy Pelosi? Are you JD Vance?

Do you hate the Democratic party so much that you want to remove all traces of progressive politics from it?

I've got news for you. The water is boiling and the lobster isn't climbing out. Putting the lid on and turning up the heat isn't going to work. Throwing younger lobsters in the pot isn't going to work. And silencing the only people talking about turning the heat down isn't going to fucking help.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Trump is such a gullible moron.

Pointless to make me feel warm and fuzzy about how much the government cares before actually solving the fixing problem and mass building the council houses. You're so focussed on what doesn't matter and won't make a difference. Symbolism without real change is worse than nothing. It just leads to disillusionment.

You'd get so much more money by taxing amazon and the other tech giants properly. One expensive object isn't going to save the country.

Trump is such a gullible moron.

The housing crisis doesn't exist for lack of money. It exists for lack of political will to invest in vast scale council house building like we did post war.

Governments always find money for the things that are important to them.

Supplying more money won't fix this. Electing someone who cares about council housing will.

Did Israel don't "we're terribly sorry we carpet bombed Gaza and convinced Trump to start a larger war in the Middle East, we'll try not to do it again" or something?

Specifically the chorus.

In any case, I feel I'd like to clarify that I don't find this frog nor angry kind of hog in any way attractive, and that you had just reminded me of a daft song lyric.

Hot frog,

jumping hog,
I'll... be... quirky.

Tell me you're horny and bi-curious without telling me you're horny and bi-curious.

That's Doctor Who. Star Wars is the one with the computer that says "I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave" and starts murdering the crew.
