Say it with me, now. As we all know, the infamous saying goes:

It's really incredible how marketing departments can radiate amnesia like this with such proficiency.

You realize there are a bunch of homes available for sale in all sorts of places for next to nothing. The problem isn't "housing", it is "housing where people want to live". Declining population in places like Italy have created housing collapse where nice houses aren't sold, and sit empty, and they'll pay you to move into one.
It isn't colonial, it is industrial. The current format of school is that of preparing for a factory workforce. We are post industrial, knowledge/AI/Whatever it will be called workforce.
Educators need to come to grip with getting EVERY child their MAX educational value we can. This means breaking the rows and columns of desks in a classroom, and getting kids their most valuable education they can get. This means some will do much better than others. Talent has gradations. Not everyone can be a Astro Physics expert.
"fair" is subjective. What you think is "fair" isn't really fair. It is objectively unfair to use qualitative terms in discussion of policy.
What would be fair, is that Government live within the means we ALREADY tax out of the public. Cut Spending first. Then, when all cuts that can be made, are made, then MAYBE we can have a discussion on tax increases.
Its Not Your Money.
Envy isn't a virtue.
The problem here, is "fairness" is subjective, not objective.
Use of that particular term is deliberate tug on the emotional center of brains. it works, which is why Progressives ALWAYS use it.
Which is exactly what they said a hundred years ago when they instituted the "income tax".
Rich people will move out. And take their wealth with them.
Taxes are regressive. All of them.
Conspiracy theories are, until they are not.
Secret Pedo island owned by rich dude with elitist ties was once a "conspiracy theory". Now we know that Epstein killed himself 100% because "They" said so.
"I'm just asking questions" idiots notwithstanding. I'm looking at you Candice.
Security isn't convenient.
Security isn't easy, but it isn't hard either.
Assume you're' a target (because you are) and make it so that you're hardened. Don't be the easy target. Criminals are lazy.
Instead of fearing AI, use it to secure software and make it better.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself.
Well, what are you waiting for? Step on it!

Thank you for taking the time to read all that! You are right, of course. It is something of an unsolved problem with the design. The question of "exactly what work are these draftees contributing?" is something I'm still working on; it may not literally be core parenting or teaching work, but actually more like e.g. hanging out with your cool uncle on the weekend who helps you learn life lessons. Maybe said uncle isn't exactly teaching or parenting material, but he still has something to contribute to building a child's character, and is assisting the parents just by being around to lighten the load. The Big Brothers Big Sisters charity seems to indicate that this is a sound principle with incredible ROI.
There would also be mandatory training to teach people the skills needed to do this work (critical to figure out what goes in there.) Also I'd like to hope that the system would "even out" over a few generations; if we assume the root cause of dangerous personalities like BPD or NPD is being trapped (or in an echo chamber) with a toxic parent figure, the practice of this "socialized parenting" is essentially guaranteeing kids have alternative support networks that can soak some of those traumas. Efficiency would never reach 100%, of course (does it ever?) and there would always be some difficult people for whom alternative credit would need to be devised, but in any substantial system there's always other work to do—maybe a truly broken person contributes by grading homework or something.
You can just say openly that you're an edgy, racist teenager. It's fine; the first step to self-improvement is admitting that you need help.
If you had better tools, you could more effectively demonstrate your total incompetence.
