I've seen that reasoning used way too often to justify that Ukraine should just fall over. I'm also not American, DJT is not the first US president that should take a life-long vacation in The Hague. I'm also disgusted by my own country's spineless leadership, but that's nothing new either.

"In the USA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s latest figures suggest that there are around 90,000 drowsy-driving road crashes annually in the USA, resulting in 50,000 injuries and 800 deaths." A solid night of sleep doesn't help if you insist on driving for 8h straight. There is a reason why Europe enforces mandatory breaks for truck drivers after at most 4.5 hours.

The outcome of education is to a very large part depend on the financial means of the parents. All too often that "moron" is the child of overworked parents without money to pay for tutors. Have you even considered that as usual many factors affect the school systems and you just picked the one factor you disagree with even if it has no measurable impact? Chronic under-financing of schools after all would disagree with the narrative that it is the kids fault.

My total mail archive over the last 12 years is 30GB. When you store images in the original quality from the camera, you can easily assume 5-15MB per image. That's not even RAW images. So 15GB is just 1000-3000 photographs and over 5 years, that's just 3-6 photographs a day. Even with aggressive pruning that's quite easy to do.
