It's less about giving people free stuff, and more about making sure to preemptively prevent mass unemployment in the wake of automation of our workforce.

Exactly. Automation is coming for the workforce, it's inevitable, and the way capitalism operates right now is not going to have any answers for the mass unemployment that'll happen with it.

No you don't. You apply, you get accepted, you pay. You wouldn't have to pay, but you'd still need to be accepted in. There's not gonna be this mass influx of people coming into college because it's free; you wouldn't be able to just pay your way in (aka Jared Kushner's father paying his university millions of dollars so his dipstuff failson can go to college).

Whats so difficult about this? Not once did I imply that when you apply you automatically get accepted. Some courses require a portfolio to get in but many of them only require a high school diploma, and (surprise surprise) some courses have a cost just for trying to get into the course. And with courses that require some sort of portfolio there are times that you DO get accepted but since so many other people did as well you get put on a waiting list for the next year.

Here's how it works:
You put in your college app, which is done through a website. You send the application on the due date, say January 1st. It takes them until April 1st to either send you a letter of acceptance or rejection. Once you get accepted, they give you a password to their website, where you fill out financial stuff and then you pay in advance the tuition, which is normally within the range of 10,000-40,000 for most universities.
There's no year long waiting list
