 I was recently talking to a friend about how schools should teach basic skills including things like balancing a checkbook, interest, investment, how money works, and basic money management.  At that moment I realized why none of these things are taught in government schools. 

Looking back at covid, many people, who didn't want the jab, took it because they were in such debt that they couldn't afford to miss even one paycheck.  By making everyone in debt and broke, they are easier to control.  If they can't survive if they miss even one paycheck, then they can't stand up to their employer or the government.  The government schools have produced wage slaves that can be made to do whatever the media, the large corporations, or the government wants them to do. 
 It’s such an insidious means of control and manipulation over the public.
