Health care money is very notoriously being withheld from hospitals, and gets redirected to private clinics at several times the cost to taxpayers. This is not the situation in education. We don't have a massive pay-to-play tier of Universities. They're all non-profit.
Honestly, I don't think you even know what the word "gouge" means. HINT: IT DOESN'T MEAN "EXPENSIVE"
The absolute cost of tuition doesn't speak to whether the school is "gouging," which would imply excessive profit-taking with funds moving to private investors -- WHO DON'T EVEN EXIST IN THIS SCENARIO.
No school's tuition covers the actual cost for Canadian citizens. Every tuition is highly subsidized. If anything, we're gouging the schools, because they are not allowed to raise tuitions but their costs are going up while their revenue is dropping.
WTF are you even talking about?
What unexamined emotional need does that fill for you?
No, they moved to Discord because there was a for-profit corporation that was extremely motivated to move people to Discord. Mumble is better in every way that an anti-consumerist cares about.
Mumble is THE SHIT.
What institutions are you talking about, specifically. Name a couple.
The didn't get "addicted", they had their funding model fucked with by various levels of government. They don't choose their fucking revenue models! The state clawed back a bunch of funding and replaced it with international students, and now they're taking that away. So the result is massive hardship.
Because withholding the money doesn't punish the irresponsible parties, it punishes the students and (consequentially) all of society.
