A combined deficit of infrastructure, suitable housing, accessibly health care, and environmental protection that stretches back over 35+ years.

All because we were told that markets would do a better job.

Bullshit.

Periodic reminder: the way we do digital education around the world (esp in the wealthier countries) is not the only way, nor, in my opinion, is it a good way. Here's another proven way I think we should all be emulating: https://davelane.nz/openschools #Trust #FOSS #Equity
