Education by public schools does a great job, actually. We learn basic history, math, science, and English

And yet a significant number of Americans are illiterate, and scientific illiteracy makes even those who can read and write make bad decisions (buying the expensive "GMO-free" salt).
And history that's being taught is indoctrination. I mean, for example, children in school are told that Mao solved the problem of hunger in China. He did not, his incompetent policies caused the most horrible famine in human history. Children in school are taught capitalism caused the Great Depression. Virtually no economist today subscribes to that view.

Maybe yours can -- but there's nothing stopping your family from seeking private education in a system with government.

If the government weren't shutting down all the private schools with stupid rules, maybe that would be the case.

They cater to the parents, rather than the education of kids.

I am not sure what you mean. Parents who want their kids to be better educated make them go to private schools, right?

They're run by government, and mandated by government, and are entirely pointless without government (after all, if there's nobody to enforce the rules, then rules don't matter!)

What makes you think traffic laws do anything to prevent accidents? They are there to supposedly resolve disputes.

have their number

Why couldn't they make an agreement with a telecommunication company to have a short number?

hope they aren't too busy

The same applies to the government.

don't gouge you on prices because it's a service you need urgently

Well, that's a necessary evil to prevent people from calling them for help for things that aren't actually urgent.

Because a currency not backed by a government is worthless.

What do you mean? Bitcoin isn't backed up by the government, and it's far from useless.

Which means that companies can cut corners, and let their employees die

Well, nobody would want to work for such a company.

You do realize that you're free to go find a private island, and live. Right?

No. In fact, I am quite sure this is not the case, since I need to ask the government for a permission to leave the country (my passport, which I currently don't have), and which they can refuse to give me for a variety of reasons.

Ok, I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

I now know that GMO-free salt is a thing thanks to FlatAssembler.

I'll never forgive you.

Aren't you from Croatia? So I'm not sure why you think you know so much about the American Education system. You seem to think you know a lot more than you do. That doesn't particularly make for good conversation.

Well, yes, I am from Croatia.
So, tell me, what do you think, why does the US education system suck so much that the US has significantly lower literacy rate than Croatia?
