Can we do mandatory civil service instead
Like that would actually help people, building infrastructure, national parks, gaining skills and trades, maybe helping reduce obesity
What are you, some kind of socialist? A true patriot is happy to die for the profits of oil companies!
Don't forget the fruit companies!
*All companies
Privatized gains & Socialized losses baby!
For real. Could make it either. Give people buy in so they care aboutour country and communities. Be proud of our currently decrepit infrastructure.
And for the love of... country, do not allow religious exceptions.
This is a great idea. How about this: After high school, you do 2 years of civil service. Then you go to college for free. After that, you do 2-4 more years of civil service, depending on how much school you do.
In the first 2 years, you grow up a bit, experience the real world, and earn a paycheck.
Next you go to college. Get a good liberal arts core and a major in your area of interest. Then spend a couple of years putting that learning to use and developing your skills.
Well thought out and makes a ton of sense. It would also instill empathetic patriotism where you love your country because you helped make it.
I always said this is the answer for offering free education. Get a job after you’re done with school and then get a few years of real world experience. Then companies get people with training and experience right out the gate
Nope, that is not how a dictatorship works.
Damn, that's a good one I haven't heard before.
