And who is "everyone"? With the US porous borders if free money is being handed out the population will grow by 10% overnight. Rents will rise to soak up the extra money and more. The same with food costs. My neighbor is a farmer, he has to pay his migrant workers $20 an hour.

Couldn't the public school system do this? Find out what gets students attention so they will willingly go to school.

71, airlines have never got a single cent from me or my wife. Stay home people.

There are millions of people like me (Boomer), we seldom go more then 10 miles from home. Anything with 150 mile range would get me to the nearest big city and back. Those with the need can buy a car with bigger batteries.

I allowed ads for YouTube in uBlock but the videos still play without ads. Have I just been over looked for now?

Just so you know there are tens of millions of Americans who live where below freezing temperatures are rare. Also many millions have no access to natural gas and depend on expensive LP gas for heat. Most of the time when it is very cold the sun is shining brightly so solar panels will provide good power. Even in more northern areas ground source heat pumps can keep a home warm during the coldest weather.

I live in north Florida, 10 years ago my old heat pump died so I just bought window ACs and a few electric space heaters. My power bill dropped in half, mostly because I only cool or heat the rooms I am in. I just installed a 12,000 watt solar system and will run my ACs and heaters off of it. My cooling and heating bill will drop to nothing.

I have FPL in northeast Florida, my all in rate recently went from 10c/kWh to 11c/kWh. They have higher rates for usage over 750 kWh per month, I use about 1200 kWh. I just installed a 11,000 watt solar system and will use it to power my A/C units, they are half my bill.

So you are saying the US goverment is not big enough to withstand the actions of billionaire grifters? Or do want to do away with billionaires so a smaller goverment can survive?

99% of the world and a large part of America. I can watch Starlink satellites being launched 90 miles to the south of my house. Cable service stopped one mile from my home 30 years ago. AT&T was paid God knows how much to run fiber down my road but was not paid to hook anyone up (about 60 homes), so they didn't. No wireless Internet, too many tall pine trees.

I have been using HughesNet for many years, slow but better then nothing. I got Starlink two months ago, WOW! Web pages open instantly and videos play immediately. $120 a month instead of $89 but worth every penny. I am retired and spend 10 hours a day online.

You can get your kid wet by tossing them into a public pool but that won't teach them to swim, tossing them into a public school is no guarantee that they will not be socially awkward. I had no friends in high school, ate lunch surrounded by empty chairs. It was Christmas the year after I graduated (1970) before I had my first date. Even being in the military did not help (I was drafted).

My Florida small town high school football team plays in the very same stadium my dad played in, he is 93. They did build new buildings in another location for the high school in 1980. My children graduated from there. My oldest daughter is a college professor and my oldest son is a lawyer. My other daughter lives in the town but has to home school our granddaughter. The school system has an online program and a once a week face time with a teacher. The child (age 7) has behavior problems and keeps getting expelled. It is not a parenting problem, my wife keeps her three days a week to give our daughter a break. They make movies about children like her.

Having your own panels will become more cost effective as electricity prices increase. My cost per kWh went up 10% last year. It is very likely 10% increases will become a yearly thing. My 11,000 watt system cost me $20,000. Ground mount, my roof runs the wrong way. Even if prices never increase I will recover the cost of the system over its lifespan. Plus living in Florida grid power is not guaranteed.

Where did the $20,000 come from? My neighbor, who happened to want 10 acres of my land that front his home. Where did he get the money? He had recently sold 400 acres of farmland four miles from me for 5.25 million dollars to a utility to put in a solar farm. A major transmission line runs along side the property so the power will just be fed into the grid.

Advertising cost money per view. Why can't companies spend their advertising budget targeting the most likely buyers? So if I advertise my retirement community in Arizona in National Geographic I also have to advertise it in Ebony?

In the South it is called "Preaching to the choir". If you were to look at an aerial photo of the area 15 miles west of Marine Land (if you do not know it is in Florida) you could see my home. The one beside a potato field with the white roof and 24 solar panels in the side yard. I have batteries so I can use saved solar power after dark. No HOA, I live on five wooded acres, I can do what I want. Then there is lifestyle, I have never bought an airline ticket. I have spent less then 60 days away from home in my life, I am 71.

The point that there are many people who have the means to charge an EV. Besides my solar system is a prep, I live in Florida so the grid might be down for weeks after a storm. Also power costs are constantly rising, my payback may be less then 20 years.
