And after I go to the Company School, I can shop at the Company Store.
Maybe it's my cynicism rearing its ugly head again, but I just don't buy into
the kieretsu paradigm. I don't think a corporation, especially one as
accountable (to the shareholders) as would exist in a Libertarian system, would
willingly fund education when they get no *direct* benefit from it. Why should
I sponsor n diplomas if all those bright young minds might work for my
competition?
