    Its okay, as I neoclassical economist, I know exactly how to fix this issue.

    Tax breaks for the rich.

    Ask me to solve any economic problem, I have the answers.

      No no no, it’s not an issue at all!

      It’s Working As Intended* as in there’s a demand (guaranteed by schools) so we charge whatever the fuck we want! Supply is also high? Following supply and demand as theory is for chumps! Supply and demand theory is for us to use as we see fit and to ignore the aspects we don’t like!

        I think you know as well as I do that your honesty and integrity in describing how people are being fucked over by this process excludes you from neoclassical economics. Its always easy to catch out the fakers.

        I mean, how am I supposed to justify tax breaks for the rich with that?

        So close: “tax breaks, for the rich.” If poor people stop paying tax too, whos going to pay to enforce enforce all the exploitation and wealth extraction done by the rich?
