Eric Schultz @wwahammy.com · 29/09/2026It's a good idea to adjust our funding system for higher education based on the observation that many student loans don't make sense financially to the individual. The correct policy though is to actually fund universities, not punish people for learning important things that aren't lucrative. 010
