    But not all schools (university) and notably missing healthcare, apart from VA, Medicare, and Medicaid.

    Electricity market is commercial but regulated by government, water at least where I am is government administered but must pay for itself out of its own revenue.

    Folks are terrified there’s no fair opportunity to be secure in health, food, and housing. If they have confidence in those three things being securely in reach, then folks would be far less anxious.

      Back in my day, state university was heavily subsidized by the state. Greed happened and we fucked ourselves. Community college was also stupid cheap as well.

      Some places electricity was ran by the government before greed and money got into politics.

      My point is about letting people know a lot of this shit is greed and money in politics. Let’s all start telling people what Citizens United is and we can all move forward with how we vote.
