The subsidies are irrelevant, US college degrees can indeed cost around 50k, if European universities have the same cost (despite having lower GDP PPP per capita) that's a even larger problem, except the taxpayer is in trouble.

Add 9.9.9.9, and the other IP. Besides 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.1. Also the IPv6 equivalents. There's almost an infinite number of DNS servers.

>They might not be bearing arms, but they are contributing to the russian economy. I didn't realize we were in a total war. What's next? Drone strikes so the "economy" shrinks?

Who's "we"? The Internet was supposed to be decentralized from the start, to prevent actions like this.

People don't need "trust", they need alternatives. SWIFT is currently in a monopolistic situation right now. Any abuse of that position will lead to eroding trust.

CIPS & SPFS. TBH, anything that stops the blatant abuse of international systems for political goals by the hegemony looks good for me.

Who do you think the shareholders are? One unified group of cartoonishly evil mustache-twirling villains? I'd be very pissed off if dividends or bond yields from across the industry dropped 50% overnight. Of the largest shareholders of

Another factor I'd want to add is the impressive destruction of multi-generational households and even relationships. It has cemented loneliness in the old and lack of family values and destructive behavior in the young especially when
