Provide proportionately greater subsidies for education in areas where there's a greater need for qualified people, and less for subjects where there's less need!

I think this is called a "free market"

Or at least, it would have the same effect.

You think wrong.

Cockney's and Jon Miller's exchanges about southern american "elite" made me think of the chavez film marathon I saw on occasion of chavez's death.

Some films were great: I reccoment

There were many things that made an impression on that film marathon.

First, the amount of violence. Too many guns (I view this as characteristic of the new world in general)
Second, the semi-illiterate people but their fervent infallable WILL for social justice. They deserve EVERYTHING.
THird the lich, the ****ing mother****ing ***** american corporate interests coupled with their own south american "elite" fascist class.

That's all.
Very educative
And Chavez

he was populist and a villager but he stuck it to those cosmpopolitan liches
btw I met a venezualan girl once in post graduate. I bet she was from the "elite". (didn't know about those things back then)
Don't want to say anything negative, so she danced greatly that's all. And very pretty.

He was an oppressive psychopath who used the "plight of the people" as a means to grab near absolute power.

[Bereta_Eder]

He redistrubuted wealth, nationalized oil companies and used the profits to prop up health care centers all over and didn't even stiffle free expression.

[Sava]

Who told you this?

[Bereta_Eder]

The films.

Venezuela ranks 116 our of 180 countries in the World Press Freedom Index of 2014.

But yeah, Chavez made that country into a hotbed of free expression.

[Sava]

also, from Human Right's Watch:

the leadership of President Chávez and now President Maduro, the accumulation of power in the executive branch and the erosion of human rights guarantees have enabled the government to intimidate, censor, and prosecute its critics

What were you saying about Chavez and free expression?

[Bereta_Eder]

Well what I have to say, is that that's certaintly not good.
Also that it is interesting to note how journalistic freedom of expression coincides (some times, not always) with high standard of living and narrow gaps between rich and poor

[Bereta_Eder]

And how much Greece sucks at it
