Simple fact: Meta is an antisemitic Nazi trash company. They banned many people for posting links to the HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY TRUST and have refused to reverse that blindingly antisemitic decision.

Nobody in their right mind would EVER want Zuck's Nazi Shitbag Company to have the kind of access to their life that "AI Glasses" feeding their entire life into a server would provide.

I don't give a fuck who's responsibility it is to feed those children

I don't believe you.

I would gladly give my $24 to make sure that we don't end up with tens of thousands of starving children and a drug-resistant HIV variant if it's all the same to you.

Who's stopping you from writing a check?

Don't give me this bullshit about how it's not our responsibility.

It's not our responsibility.

It's pure evil and you sound like a fucking asshole.

I'll just have to learn to live with the knowledge that you disapprove.

Gee whatever will we do without spies ^H^H^H^H^H^H students flying drones over our naval facilities and taking patents and trade secrets back home.

Replace the word "students" with "tourists and investors" and you will have your answer.

More to the point I think you will find those students were only a tiny fraction of the students, the rest were cash cows for the US universities who will now take their money elsewhere.

Except that the cash is drying up anyway, per the article source. And it was inevitable that enrollment would slow down as soon as China ramped up their higher education system enough to provide for their own needs. That's been their M.O. in every other sector of their economy: get Western help until self-sufficient, then kick the West out to protect their own markets. Education is no different from factories in this case.

The overall labor participation percentage in 1950 was 59%. Now it's 62%. ...
Every generation laments the up and coming generation as hopelessly stupid and lazy.

In 1950, most women were married and stay-at-home moms, with the female labor participation rate at just over 30%. Most men did the working. We have a vastly different social situation now. The women's labor rate is now 57%. Men are now under 67%. In the year you citied, 1950, men had an 86% participation rate. The male rate has been steadily dropping since the 60's. So there's definitely been a change in attitudes and work ethic since the 50's.
