Free education because we absolutely want people to up-skill. The only thing, like literally, the ONLY thing that has EVER driven humanity forward is people with knowledge being given access to the appropriate resources to allow their talents to flourish.

But I ain't hopeful. The status quo is entrenched hard and we didn't get rid of the authority of monarchies by asking nicely.
