Startup wants to teach people to code, for free

February 19, 2013 9:21 AM

Doing work for free drives down wages.

Making a big labor pool also drives down wages.

The high cost of low labor is going to exterminate the global economy, never mind all the local (national) economies.

For once, it is that simple.

P.S. If this company wants to teach people to code for free, what will they do to bring in the money? So what's the real cost, eh? What will keep that company going? Will it be like others that sell peoples' names and addresses and everything they do and without a single iota of scruples?
