      I think they’re expecting an influx of dropping out to enter the wage slave market work force. So for them, it’s hitting a triple - less expenses to education, a less educated populace, and a locked-in-for-life service industry workforce.

      Someone I knew was hard-core conservative and thought forcing (other people’s) kids to work was a fucking great idea. When asked about the dangers of working in a industrial kitchen or a meat packing plant he said he wasn’t worried about that at all. Insurance companies would never allow it.

      He spouted all kinds of other right wing BS that was almost as disturbing. That kind of nutcase is exactly who the fuck thought this would be a good idea.
