Drawing on one or even a few experiences for a conclusion for all of Europe in all sectors is a bit much. Scientific Organizations are not looking for local language skills. Many are in Germany which is very bureaucratic about other aspects of life, but they all spend their time on standardized International bureaucracy. The Universities in other countries might be harder to get in to, yet I wouldn't buy a $250k US University scratch ticket in a field like science. (The US University is a particularly poor investment for less qualified students.)

Control is met by having ample choice. You are eroding control if you settle for a duopoly where your movement between them is more hassle for you and balances out by the unhappy moving in the other direction.

You really have to make a distinction between monopolies of control and the rest. If you can go to multiple shops, restaurants, etc, then you have selection as control. The troublesome ones here have a lot of lock-in, if you can just move towns, switch phone OSes, etc, then you've probably sacrificed quite a bit to avoid that lock-in.

You skipped the next sentence where these are partially canceled out by investment, consumer spending, etc.

Not wrong, deceiving. Real GDP is down because of some factors that cancel out and because the President sucks. Is the correct way to read that executive approved message.

"These movements were partly offset by increases in investment, consumer spending, and exports."

You can't make someone understand what that investment and consumer spending is if their job depends on not understanding it.

I get his PoV, but I think most people who have thought about it know which tools should have been used at the end of the cold war. The difficulty is precedent and the preference to the power two factions over structure.

Doing something to fix the US' executive branch problem with the proper Amendments would be likely to fail because it would be too neutral to collect from lobyists or sell on emotion.

I'd give different advice.

You shouldn't share state secrets with the US. They will be on or transferred between misconfigured cloud accounts. Some agency will eventually get authorization for analysis of them with an intention of financial espionage. The probable or confirmed loss of them will serve as a plausible deniability for the US when it misuses them.

Fad intangible assets is pretty mind boggling to me. If you are thinking someone is the next Shakespeare while they are alive then you are probably going to be wrong and when you are right their coin should warrant a future value that is marginal compared to whatever the teeny bops actually prefer in a hundred years.

Software hadn't consumed the world yet, so there was plenty of programming in higher languages to bring in 999 of every 1000 programmers in to when virtually no one was still needed for assembly.. I'm skeptical that there's much need for more technical specialists at the next higher levels as business people can now get all the help they were supposed to get in codeless systems, etc.

Yes, but they weren't field specific from the rise of the PC to the iPhone. The next life skill, homeEc skill, public forum, etc meant the average kid or middle class adult was being judged on whether they were working on these skills.

I view these things as a way to make up for not paying adequate tax rates by paying for the things they felt best about in what tax should have paid for.

Flaws with this setup aside, I wouldn't feel good about building a Trump compatible school.. And of course the expectation that they continue is just precedent/norms which means less than nothing in show power by arbitrary disruption land.

Uncomfortable yes, but you need to pay attention to details that big tinfoil fashion can't be bothered with. For example, you can't use Reynolds wrap because it was modified with preforations for the government. They say that was to keep your Jonny Wurster's from smoking crack, but obviously sub-nanometer waves..

I originally moved to duckduckgo to use their !g/!b/!.. for quick search comparisons when I was very much a power user of search, but these days ddg's first results or results after adding a qualifying word are usually adequate for my usage and my power search skills are in decline.

Recent untested precedent exists of blanket pardons needed for unqualified crimes and they are so far likely to be challenged on a different technicality (first?).. Asking what people think is not confused unless you are being uncharitable or know a lot of actual precedents that we all should know from another era.
