Those poor, rural areas will close up shop and Voila! Poor kids with no choice but to go without education and to toil at lowly service jobs! Hooray! A whole segment of our populace that will guarantee a steady supply of inmates in for profit prisons, cannon fodder in for profit wars and worker bees in profitable businesses that pay shit wages.

I'd say the plan is coming together beautifully.

I have to go be sick now.
