This reminds me that around 2010-11, I began seeing in various corners of the Internet proposals of this type that I assumed were serious. A frequent argument was that college was a waste of time and money, the courses being taught were useless if not actively harmful, and that corporations and tech tycoons should open their own colleges to teach kids what they needed for success in business and nothing else. Among other things, it was supposed to give the students a secure future.
It wouldn't surprise me if more people started taking such ideas seriously. As for me, I'm writing my third novel now, and this type of scenario plays a part in it.
I am worried that the people who are subtly criticised in this well written piece would actually take it seriously, too seriously, if they haven't done that already as part of their playbooks.
I eagerly await your take on food insecurity in Ireland.
That's easy. Eat them all.
Beautiful, Sam!
Thank you!
I love this.
Thank you!

Yeah, I'm a little surprised too. Maybe they feel that the existing educational system is such a solid pipeline that there's no real need for it.
Fun. Also--great article in the Statesman.
Thank you!

Lol. Little chance that they'll read this though.

Don't get on that ship!
