EDIT: A lot of you are reading into the tweet while still somehow agreeing with the overall message. No one is saying we should eliminate music programs or that we should teach toddlers about healthcare plans. The tweet is making this thing called a --checks notes-- joke, that also conveys the message that schools could teach more practical skills that young adults will need going forward.

    Are you from the US? Because our tax forms are needlessly complicated thanks to lobbyists. It’s not just basic math…by design. And since getting rid of the lobbyists is out of the school’s control, there SHOULD be education. No need to learn how to do it yourself, just pay for TurboTax to make it easy!

    There should be more education for our financial system in general. But that would take money from the middlemen and we can’t have that here apparently
