The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Your egocentrism is showing, USAian. I don't even know where to begin dismantling your bullshit from how awefully absurd it is.

tuition for prestigious education out of reach of the common person

"Prestigious private education"? Are you joking? The people who take private higher education are effectively ridiculed, not to mention how private schools/colleges are always lacking – e.g. back in the day, when I compared my curriculum (actually prestigious public university) with all relevent private alternatives, they'd always be one year or more behind, which also means they'd finish their course with a huge gap in knowledge.

in many countries there’s a modest fee the government will pay out

Here in Brazil you can get upwards of two minimum wages. How is it that Brazil can afford this, but apparently the US couldn't? Besides that, yes, you may need a side job – that's what non-abusive internship/trainee positions are for. You work a few hours per day at a relevant position to your minor/major to get cash and relevant experience.

They come back at you in the form of decades of tax rates.

Except those decades of taxes ALSO pay for my healthcare (excellent, btw), bicycle infrastructure, to maintain parks, to protect local fauna and flora, for libraries, etc etc

First, your formatting is completely broken.

Second:

The places where real power concentrates, where the old royalty gathers. Not the best in terms of scientific endeavours, but that’s not what those places are about anyway. It’s all about making connections.

I.E. completely irrelevant. Got it.

Double minimum wage in the USA is barely enough to cover rent in the cities

The fix seems pretty obvious, eh?

would add $553 billion

I.E., even ignoring the fact that not all students would require this monetary assistance, less than the budget for the 'murican war machine. Seems fine to me.

you’re quickly paying 85% of the $30k you’re receiving in tuition fees alone

???? Why would they be paying the tuition fees with free public education available?
