That’s certainly how I interpreted it as well, and it seemed really strange coming from @Papasan. I would bet money that our interpretation of that comic is the original intent. It appears to be a Galt Society ad from the 1950s (or trying to mimic that style). Papasan clearly meant it a different way, but his intended meaning wasn’t clear to me from any of the follow ups.
A swing and a miss for all of us communication-wise.
Personally, I think there’s no such thing as a “government monopoly” because the government is us. People are suggesting community oversight, but that’s what government is. If the oversight is bad (as it clearly is), I think we need to find and fix whatever is broken. Creating new community oversight panels is creating another parallel government oversight which might help, or might just be corrupted again as local school boards are. There are no easy answers here, but I encourage people to remember how we got here- government oversight is all of us agreeing to keep an eye on things together.
