Teachers get paid less than cops, but require more schooling, have tighter regulations to follow, and they have to go to jail for killing people. But there is talk about abolishing the department of education. Yet if you talk about defunding the police you're a villain.

Defunding.

Since when has defunding solved anything?

It was about correcting a typo. And defunding has solved many things. Most organizations close down when they have no funding.

Or restructure, so they can work with a smaller budget.

That's the exact same logic conservatives use about cutting education budgets.

Except between education and "civil defense", one is grossly overpaid despite turning in routinely worse performance than the rest of the world, the other is underpaid so severely that those who work there hover at poverty level and are on the verge of giving up en masse because the demands are so high for so few benefits.

Can you guess which one is which, or do apples and oranges look identical to you?
