 Everything is monetized at the expense of its core purpose these days. Like college. Whether you get a good education is irrelevant compared to creating a long term debt burden. And anything that can't be monetized is politicized until it can be privatized and thus turned into another profit venture for somebody who doesn't care if it succeeds. Because even the success of a business is subordinate to how well those involved can cash out.
