Do you agree or disagree that governments should use public funds to provide free advisory services?

I'd say governments should definitely provide free advisory services, especially in areas where people lack professional guidance. The main reason is that many individuals simply can't afford private consultations, which means they might make poor decisions about finances, health or careers. For example, in Shanghai where I live, I've seen young graduates struggle with job hunting because they don't know how to present their skills properly - a simple career counseling session could make a huge difference. That said, the government would need to ensure these services are actually useful and not just superficial advice.
