[quote=August Tier] Firstly jiwon: What capabilities are you referring to that "got out"? There is still basic public education at the expense of the taxpayers, so it's not like having a book would make you anything special. The world is not that radically different than our own, with the major differences being that 1. Police are militarized and 2. The middle class has almost disappeared. [/quote] Ahh, okay. So, public education is still available? Got it. Will make appropriate changes. It was that if the status quo is that most people are hurdling around barrel fires, then I didn't think that education would be as available nor would most kids go. I would think that they would work/try to help their family like in the industrial revolution. Anyways, will go make changes.
