It sucks ass and is infuriating, it is a very long road to fix and will never get done. We made a bunch of dumb fucking people by kneecapping education, look at where we are now. Half the country will listen to some dipshit in their truck rather than an expert in the field. It's how we wind up with people complaining about inflation but demanding we protect the people that took all the money. We are lacking basic reasoning abilities.
