They don’t actually sell your data to anyone: they sell access to you as a persona to advertise to.

Selling your data would defeat the entire purpose.

World war does not abide by democratic debate.

If Russia is “removed” from the security council (which there is no legal means to do so) they would immediately leave the UN and likely throw the future of the entire UN into chaos.

It would be exactly the same as Japan leaving the League of Nations prior to WWII and would render the UN pointless. Because what would happen then? The UN would condemn Russia? So what? Would a UN coalition decide to intervene? Hello WWIII.

Hence the entire purpose of the security council: prevent direct confrontation of major powers and prevent WWIII by giving them a “do whatever you want card so long as it’s not too bad.”

The security council exists for one reason and one reason only: to prevent WWIII.

Removing a large, powerful nuclear power would dramatically increase the likelihood of WWIII.

You said it yourself though: fixing SS is extremely political unpopular.

You need to either reduce benefits or increase taxes. Neither are good options.

Most of the locations for California high speed rail is “vacant flat land”

Building railways in the US Is not easy lol. Just take a look at California high speed rail.

Eminent domain is extremely expensive and time consuming.

Advertising brings customers.

Advertising is definitely worth it if it increases revenue by more than it costs.

Loitering is a crime…

Sorry, 12k was just for tuition.

I meant the total shown on my state is about double what I payed including everything.

It also includes private schools which are much much expensive than public. Super misleading in my opinion.

I guess if you didn’t go to college it would all be free? Lol, what a stupid question.

This including private schools makes it completely disingenuous. Hardly anyone going to private schools pays full tuition and the ones the do are often from affluent parents.

Since it’s not explicit I don’t think it’s fair to show it that way.

And even then, that’s still way more than what I payed going to a state school. So again, I just don’t know where they got this data.

I graduated in 2019 in the US and it cost about 12k per year. No idea how they came up with these numbers.

People with just a bachelors degree make, on average, $1 million more in lifetime earnings than those without.

How exactly does additional supply in the international market drive up prices?

And it would only cost $4 trillion a year to do it, nailed it!
