One of the requirements to become a US Citizen is you have to show some proficiency in American English.

Other countries have an official language, we need to make it official here.

We want people coming into the US to assimilate and the greatest tools for that is common language.

You rarely go to other countries and hear commercials in different languages ......certainly the signage for streets, etc is not in multiple languages...etc.

There is nothing bigoted about expecting someone trying to live in your country to speak the common language ....

There are lots of technical jobs in Europe, but many people are trained in the wrong fields. One of my nephews with a masters degree in business, retrained as an electrician and is now making lots of money installing A/C units in shops. Another nephew retrained as a gas turbine pump mechanic and now does very well with a gas distribution company.

What is wrong with being nationalistic? The EU is a very loose federation of nation states, each with its own defense force, police etc and the states on the periphery are responsible for gaurding the external borders. Spain, Hungary, Poland, Bulgaria, Greece etc all have huge border fences that put the old Iron Curtain to shame.

Spanish government failed its citizens.

Nonsense. Except from the right-wing vultures abusing the images for politics and undermining EU unity (which was the intent of this campaign), there were no consequences Spain could have prevented with the border security or army. In no time, pretty much all those who had crossed were back in Morocco and everything was back to normal.

From a brief examination with Google AI Overview, apparently these are not robots at all but in nanotech/materials science such powder used like swimmers are called microrobots. There is a big problem though that to make the MXene (porous high surface area sheet-like particles) magnetic you coat it with something like Nickel, which can leach toxic ions. So if you don't pick up all the bot particles you might add another poison.. That said I'm definitely all for research into microplastic removal though mostly I want it removed from my body and MXene is not going in there.

It's a good question and I've heard it before. Certainly critical thinking and defensive approaches to finance and the Internet, and basic concepts of personal security are super important. But if you have a course about computer literacy then I think you need them to learn what a filesystem is, at least the core concepts of volumes, directory trees and file permissions. Also what are the main components of a computer. It can be covered in an hour and it seems those concepts are still useful in every day life. Without even the conceptual understanding they will lose a chance at a solid foundation and instead rely on floaty, handwavy impressions that whatever they create or need to find will magically appear if they just know the right magical hashtag. I think any country that wants to be a leader in science and technology really needs to teach a little of the science and technology that affect people's lives.

Here in the US, audio recording without consent is prohibited by wiretap laws, but not video recording... sigh.

That's not quite true....

That's ONLY true in states that mandate both parties consent to and know they're being recorded.

Many, if not most states...allow for one party consent, so usually the person recording knows its recording and therefore legal.

If you record in public without consent, the only thing you should be allowed to do with that video is maintain it in private and use it for security or investigative purposes for a fixed time window. Any other use should be prohibited, and yes that this includes use by the media.

News reporting?

And anyone can be a news reporter potentially.....

Its not racism or prejudice in the sense of judging people by immaterial qualities (skin color, sex/gender/ethnicity/etc) , it is the prejudice of Elitism. They think ONLY their elite compatriots are or should be eligible to doing the six figure job. There was a cute 80s movie that took this Elitism to task, The Last Starfighter.

It fits this pretty well.
