But since socialism/communism is neither good with a lousy central planning policshit that consolidates wealth and power by force at the top, it makes me thing that the whole world is in such a deep state of mess nobody dares to step in and clean up.
Instead of all the lousy arguments from purely "economic" perspectives, why doesn't the politicians take a leaf from Robert Mcnamara's teachings and fucking enact some hardcore no-nonsense research and planning, instead of blaming it on "he doesn't agree with me"?
Right now, I am still trying to convince my mother to pay for at least the bridging course so I can go out and find work, then transition into part-time studies after I completed it. But she refuses to understand that the Singapore Armed Forces pay me $400 per month for 2 years to do shit, while my sister earns $1400/mth working outside for the same amount of time. And now my sister has a degree earning her $3000 per month, while I still have yet to finish my degree.
And if the US economy doesn't pick up, I'll be stuck with forever increasing university fees while my paygrade still stays below $1600 thanks to "foreign talent", which are considerably cheaper since MNCs are hiring in their currency, a significantly smaller proportion through conversion. That is what is called a goddamn poverty cycle - I don't want to stay single for the rest of my life or without kids just because I can't afford their education beyond high school.
