Uh, education is available to all. It's called public school in the US. It gets you enough (if you trying in even a minimal way) to get by in life - math to balance a checkbook, the ability to read the mail you received.

You seem to be claiming that higher, specialized education should be a free for all. That's significantly different. Should government pay for law/medical school? As many degrees as I might wish to achieve? Can one be a permanent, lifelong student in your world?

"How?"

Realize that the Internet is not the web. Install an ad/tracking blocker. Avoid, or delete your accounts on Facebook/Google/Apple/"social media". Pay for a domain(s), and use different email addresses for different accounts. Use a VPN. Regularly clear cookies in your browser. Vote for politicians who "get it," and truly understand the Internet, surveillance and privacy.

Donate to the the EFF.

There's more, which is left as an exercise for the reader.

Great, so everyone abusing social security (within the legal limits, just not within its intended function)

Why don't you offer an example of this legal abuse, and a cite for "its intended function"?

It is 4G, which stands for 4th Generation. In the US, 1G=AMPS, 2G=TDMA/CDMA, 3G=EDGE/CDMA2000, 4G=LTE. Throw a bunch of other acronyms in there as you will, because there were incremental improvements, but those are the basic generational changes.

I understand your point, but just because some industry organization wants to redefine the terminology for marketing reasons to be based on speed instead of generations of technology, doesn't make it so.
