Education: More economy, less religion…

The current coronavirus crisis is showing us that folks who weren’t prepared to a brutal change in economic situation have been badly hurt and are suffering much more than they should.

It also tells us that we don’t teach enough basic economic rules in school, like saving for a rainy day or for sake of creating a buffer, or better yet, a springboard to acquire a roof over someone’s heads and a tiny bit of freedom from credit.

The current endless lines at food banks is a telltale reminder that something is badly wrong with our American society, in a country that we’d like to call the richest on the face of the earth.

Instead, we make damned sure that people place some kind of religious education far before some basic information about navigating a day-to-day economic reality.

That's why we prefer administering to young kids plenty of religiosity through early, massive and continued brainwashing.

As a result, most individuals are stuck relying on divine prayer than on common sense economic rules that could free them from the tyranny of consumerism and merciless capitalism
