US steel and steel production in the USA are not the same thing. The company's name is that of a legal entity, not an accurate description of what it is.

Policy can and has done both positive and negative things to public schools. I wouldn't bet the farm on the next increment of policy going one way or the other

Code is a liability does not imply more lines of code is more liability. You can owe 1000 dollars to one neighbor and 1 dollar each to 100 neighbors. The number of neighbors you owe money to is not the right metric for how much liability yo

More than that, our brains have multiple input and output devices that simultaneously interact with the brain. Proprioception, sight, hearing, touch inputs. Movement, cognition, hormone regulation as outputs. There's a biological basis
