Competition is fine on a certain level, but when it generates a state of constant fear (of losing your job, losing your house, losing your health, etc.) as it has done in the US today, then it is no longer beneficial to society. Just look at countries like Sweden or South Korea that have strong social safety nets -- their citizens are WAY happier than ours. Coincidence?

The idea that tenure benefits students is B.S. Tenure only benefits teachers. Competition between teachers benefits students. And tenure reduces competition between teachers.
