[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bought the series for my kids and read one or two of the books just to make sure it was suitable for kids. It’s written from a Libertarian perspective. I thought the series would prompt good discussions with my kids. [/quote]

The videos have [b]factually inaccurate information[/b]. I would not trust the books. There are other sources for giving your kids this perspective better than this drivel. [/quote]

Care to cite an example?[/quote]

It's intentionally misrepresenting information here. For one, intentionally taking inflation from 2023 vs. 1983 to make the point that "inflation is so much worse" is factually inaccurate. Yes, at very, very specific points in time, 2023 inflation would be worse than 1983. Guess they didn't want to go with the inflation rate of 1981? or 1989?  :lol:

For another, it misrepresented current college salary as less than 1982 on raw values. Yes, an inflation adjusted view does show that college grad salaries aren't better, but specifically chose a noninflation adjusted value for the 1980s and compared it to the inflation adjusted value for 2023 - an apples to oranges comparison.  :lol:

And for one, I absolutely believe that the value of college tuition vs. salary is debatable, but a fair debate takes into account planned career and trajectory and many other factors![/quote]
