A designed loop until they can make the whole thing implode and eliminate public education. Goal is to then drive to religious schools with vouchers that cost more and more work time and importantly to keep woman in the home, not working, and persistently pregnant.
They think they can force the '50s on America? They realize with house prices there's no magical white collar job Howard Cunningham can get that will provide enough for a house and allow Miriam to stay home and care for Ritchie and Joanie, right? Even if Miriam has no education and there's no choice, it's not enough to support 4 people and a house.
Even beyond the textbook cruelty of subjugating one person under another based on sex like it's Afghanistan, limiting education so they're pliable and dehumanized and dependent, the fact remains: it's impossible financially to re-create the McCarthy era no matter how much they really really want it in their twisted, poisoned hearts.
For so, oh so many reasons, we're not going back.
Yeah so these people are going to be perpetually in increasing amounts of debt, spending less of their little money on themselves, both being a profit center and reducing their choice to opt out.
In this scenario, how does the ruling class maintain their numbers? Do they send their kids to private schools where the actual education occurs? Or they haven’t thought that far ahead yet?
Yes. That's what they've been doing for well over a century. It's also one of the greatest arguments for banning and criminalizing private educational institutions. Forcing the wealthy to use the same schools also forces them to not destroy it.
I have met some rentier class people (massive wealth from charging for their massive assets), and their kids went to expensive private schools. The scenario is not hypothetical.
Kidnapping is a real fear at that level of remove from the 'Great Unwashed.'
