The move was described by three people informed of the plan ahead of the announcement. Two of these people said six offices within the department would be shifted elsewhere; the third person said it was at least two.

    education is a subsidy for corporations

    It’s a perquisite for domestic development of professional labor. But where those laborers work is dictated by their access to capital. Corporate monopolization of real estate and advanced machinery forces professional workers into their employment. The act of publicly provisioning education isn’t what yields subsidy. Its the caging of graduates into privately owned industries through control of physical and intellectual properties.

    Nobody should want this except for traitorous elites ready to leave the country the instant the tap runs dry.

    I think you’re getting out ahead of your skis.
