The engineering 'wit' of those machines is laudable, with a couple of exceptions. It costs money to deliver education. If it weren't a government bureaucracy you'd assume better education for more money. While that may or may not be the case, there's a certain amount of money that is right in some natural terms to devote in this direction. Well, schools are funded by government.
Education is a major budget item.
But governments are headed by politicians and government moneys are apportioned according to votes. The more votes in a given direction, the more money that will be allocated. Education is very important. That's where we take young children and turn out dropouts or success stories. That's where we train those that will make the future better than our past.
