It's absolutely more than 10k. When was the last time you checked school prices in the US? I graduated in 2019 from a state school, and it was just under $5000 a semester (that's not including any dorms or books). Giving government paid for schooling is a hard sell in the US because, on the face of it, it feels like a regressive tax. It feels like giving money to people who are more likely to earn better money in the future and therefore shouldn't get the handout. It's hard to convince people to think about it one step further and realize those educated people who now make more will now pay more in taxes. Education gives great returns on investment for the government.

Sure, but I miss the days when I could just disagree with conservatives instead of fear them trying to push fascism.

The whole movie is a Christian allegory. It's probably one of the reasons Mel Gibson was in it.

That doesn't matter though. His base is voting for him no matter what. That's why it's his base. It's only the undecideds in a few states that matter. With Latinos voting GOP more and more, this could actually have an effect.

It is an appstore for Flatpaks. Flatpaks are a universal app package for Linux that runs in a sort of containerized environment. They're very prolific in the immutable linux world.

And just legit starlink contracts. Like it or hate it (I hate it), Starlink is the best satellite internet service around right now.

To add to that, calling them sexist further entrenches them. A big part of that movement is a reaction to being called sexist, racist, etc... All you're doing is playing into their own propaganda. That's why the "weird" moniker was so much more effective.

From your source

The actual maneuver was digitally rendered, rather than filmed

You don't say? Lol

No. The recession that everyone expected never happened because the current administration did so well.
