A monopoly on certificates (degrees) is causing it. It's ridiculous that an English course costs 5000$. A lot of people can do a better job teaching this material for 500$ or less but they don't have a right to issue a prestigious certificates.

I just hope "free market fails" people realise one day that the most overpriced industries (healthcare and education) are the ones free competition is not allowed in.

We used to have no regulations on healthcare. It was terrible.

Other countries don’t have populations chomping at the bit to allow Amazon to dropship healthcare. They aren’t perfect, but the US system is singularly broken.

They sort of do, Turkish hairlines, and Cali come immediately to mind. It’s just that you have to drop ship yourself there.

This concept is very far from all rainbows and sunshine [1], exactly what you'd expect to happen leaving it all up to the market indeed.
