The American people have been trained over the last few decades to expect too little. Universal healthcare & easy access to higher education is what the citizens in a prosperous society should expect and do expect in other countries. It’s part of our “right to pursue happiness.”

The reason we don’t have universal healthcare or free higher education is so the marketplace can continue to rule. But that’s economically self-defeating for the country. When people are healthier & more educated, they’re more productive and by definition add more to the economy.

The marketplace always rules. No governmental or external influences will ever control.

Seems to me as if the “free market” is one of those false idols that prophets have been warning us about.

If @JoeBiden wins the POTUS you and others(even ones who voted the Biden) PUSH him to better those things. I'm all for better healthcare/education. Dont sit back and be mad that the candidate you wanted didnt make it. The SENATE is the key, dont forget that..
