It strikes me as misguided, but to politicians the math is thus: high school and college educated kids make more money, so educate everyone.
This just promotes incompetents.
The subconscious social reason for education is as you state: to tame and indoctrinate.
But I think that's at a level even below politics!

@gray @Humpleupagus @freepatriot @UnCL3 @EssentialUtinsil @white_male difficult to smoke with prices like that. What I did every month in Norway was just take ferry which was cheap with your own cabin to Denmark from Bergen to buy tobacco from duty free aboard the ship. A one day back and forth trip. Obviously bought more than legal like everyone on the ferry.

@freepatriot Police have been demonized by the media for killing "unarmed blacks" and have been told to stand down while criminals are on the loose, but they go after law-abiding citizens.
Fans of this will love the new book "Unconventional Lifestyles: Finding Freedom in Non-Traditional Choices" by Andy Reven. Absolutely stunning.

WOW...I would have bet (and lost) NYC would be at leik $20 for a pack of Marlboro...
"The average price of a pack of Marlboro Reds in NYC is $10.81, according to Spring Market. However, this price can vary based on the specific location and retailer."

I fkn HATE this asshole. He is the Number One reason cigarettes are so expensive at (it seems) a 90% TAX...HEFTY taxes.
Fuck all that. I use an electric cig maker and pipe tobacco that's $12-$15 a pound. Tubes are $2.50 per 200. I can make a pack for around 70 cents, and the only applicable tax is just regular state sales tax.
Much better, no additives, and a better value than $10+ per pack.

@EssentialUtinsil @Humpleupagus @freepatriot Haven't thought about it, but let's settle on a narc tyranny.
Freedom is the absence of government.
Government is force.
Government welfare is tyranny.
State education is tyranny.
Stove bans are tyranny.
The free market is freedom because the free market is voluntarily.
