Existential Comics

How are your comics so funny when you've got Twitter takes of this low quality? Your employer does pay for your education, by paying you, in the current system.

my employer definitely didn't pay for my university degrees lol try to think a little more abstractly. Is education meant as education or simply job training?

hohohohoho - you have framed this entirely in the context of society's benefit, not the learner. An excellent example of how to completely bias an argument to the point where those who find questioning difficult would rather lap it up. That's called propaganda

i don't know how to tell you that you should care about other people

In some fields, your first paragraph is already the case. They pay more money to people with degrees, so they are indirectly paying for the degrees.

no they aren't? If it's job training, the job should pay for it

When tempted by such logic, replace the named investment with "car" and see if it makes sense to you. In this case, we would not expect everyone's car to be paid for by their employer or the public. If we did, we would all drive crappy cars. We want choice, not "free" cars.

Yes, your employer should pay for your commute. Some companies do, too. They provide bus passes, parking and/or reimburse for milage etc.

Let's be democratic: If the public gives money to fund educational programs, the public has the right to be very specific about the educational programs it wishes to fund. Not funding astrology and young earth educational programs seems entirely reasonable, for example.
