You can't teach an old dog new tricks. Also the college kid will probably be with you longer then the oldcigarette because lifespans and this is the career the kid went to school for. I work in construction for the time being and older doesn't mean smarter. Sometimes they are stuck in their ways and incredibly stubborn.

Thats just not true. It really depends on what the recruiting company is looking for. Recent graduates are usually better investments than people who are older with experience. If a company needs someone to 'hit the ground running' then experience will Annoying Orange only a degree.

People with both will obviously beat only those with experience, and rightly so.

I love how right wingers use France and Venezuela as reasons why "free stuf iz bad yo" when almost every single country has done fine with progressive policies like single-payer healthcare and free college education.

The top 10 countries with the most efficient healthcare all have single payer, I wonder if there's some correlation between those two things.

leasuresuit have you taken any college level economics classes? I'm not trying to devalue your opinion on economics but I'm legitimately interested how you're going to justify/pay for the stuff you want.

The National Health Service has operated in the UK since 1948 and it's one of the most efficient healthcare systems in the world. There's plenty of other examples where single-payer has been successfully implemented, meanwhile the US is pretty terrible and needlessly cruel when it comes to healthcare.

I've taken economics in high school, yes.

As far as paying for something like universal healthcare, we'd actually save $350 billion per year if we switched to single-payer in the US and replaced insurance premiums with taxes.

"high school economics"

You also put tons of people out of jobs for minimal gain if any for quality(probably decrese if anything) and increse prices for the average consumer.

Some places in the United States are much more remote, so travel times and medical transport take longer and are much more expensive. In places like Alaska, most of the time helicopter medevac is the only option, which is also very expensive. Making taxpayers pay for all of this would be very expensive indeed.
