Hmm, In my view we are in the worst era of the economies, you are saying people can go to school, eat food, and pay bills, bro are you serious I'm not sure from which country you are but if you look at the living expense vs the average earning here in Asian countries like Pakistan, Sri-Lanka, India almost 40% people cant afford the 2-time meal for themselves and their family. School haha I'm not sure where you've seen this information even in the 2020s people are forced to child labor.

you've mentioned something like even if they don't have a full-time stable job you can afford a standard of living, haha yup you can based on Youtube, TikTok, and freelancing income but that's not the success of an economy that's an individual success. Here more than 60% of workers are working 16 hours per day as GIG workers to afford their expenses and you are talking about affordance of food and paying bills.

I don't know why I'm rude but this system sucks rich are getting richer so that even their cats and dogs are living a life that 70% of the lower middle-class cant even dream to live.
There's a lot of pain in my heart for those who are near me and I cant do anything, except watch their struggle for life. The economy which is based on money against money can't change people's lives.

We can discuss more with references as well. But yup for sure in today's world, any skill and education can help you earn a living, so education needs to be free at least everywhere, and that will not be the success of the economy that will be the success of individuals struggle.
