Education does not grow on trees. It does not need to be grown in a garden. It does not require water and sunlight. It cannot be loaded onto a truck and dispersed through a distribution network. Stores do not have education shortages. We are not killing the planet due to the emissions of knowledge. It is not bound by the same physical limitations that resources you are referencing have. This is another example of how your quantitative mindset cannot comprehend a qualitative good.
You sound like someone who would’ve supported the burning of the library of Alexandria.
We need to spend more resources on making our people better, not subsidizing business models that still charge the people directly or denying people the opportunity to better themselves.
