A for profit school, which is, of course, designed not so much to educate, but to separate people from their money, currently has an ad campaign on television featuring "graduates" who are known to each other by their bright red socks.

I can't tell you much more than that because I didn't really pay that much attention. And I think it's a stupid school, so I don't really want to look for more information.

So... yeah, it's like that. Sorry.

The driver thing? I don't know. Maybe it was in the commercial I didn't listen to.

Again, sorry. OTOH, it's more info than you got from the OP, so....

And didn't get a real answer

Then again, I haven't had on local news all day, so not really sure what I am missing.

10-15 years - maybe. A lot of infrastructure that no one wants to pay for is needed for what you are talking about.
