> Are public schools so bad that people come out with no marketable unique skills that would give them natural job security?

Yes, but that's not the only issue. Some people are incapable of managing their own affairs. Showing up to work on time, not drunk is not in their personal capacity. It's not really their fault; we are not the authors of our neurobiology.

There are plenty of alcoholics who can show up to work and wait until afterwards to get drunk. There is a certain level of choice to being so egregious about it that you reek of whisky at a meeting, even if that choice is just saying "f it."

Choice is an illusion, a story our brain tells itself to feel better about the reality our consciousness is largely just a witness too.
