Where I am, a normal 6.6kw system (panels + inverter + installation) can cost as low as about $1,950usd nothing more to pay. Good for 25 years. (Higher end panels and such can go up to about $4500usd for a 6.6-7kw system)
I partly agree with you. Mostly on that on matters of this that they had a plan, and wasn't just wonton aggression against education. That is, their only plan was for the results, not the methodology.
The city can hire cheaper people, but not teachers. That's been the problem the last few years - not enough teachers (because they're treated and paid like shit), so the requirements to stand in front of a class continue to drop.
This is a lie.
