I really doubt it. Most likely NATO would destroy any all Russian forces that enter Polish soil but not push further out past the border and escalate. No need to start WW3.

Yeah, Biden vowed to defend ‘Every Inch’ of NATO Territory. Any Russian soldier unfortunate to step onto NATO soil is going to get obliterated by the US military.

Well, in this case, Biden vowed to defend ‘Every Inch’ of NATO Territory so I don't think we have to worry about that.

So I calculate da possible total cost that could be done in [0]. University of Chicago has an average cost of tuition after aid at $27,315 and that does not even include housing or food! 1-(15000/(27,315*4)) = a 86% reduction in cost

So unsecured personal loans? Those depend on your credit which most students don't have much/any and your debt-to-income which is normally infinite for students because they don't work. You would massively screw over kids w

The top 1% earners earned 21% of all U.S. income while paying 40% of all federal income taxes [0]. I would guess going from 50% to 70% would increase that share to would increase that percentage to 58%. [0]: https://www.heritage

And then the top 20 schools will only end up taking rich kids whose parents can pay/co-sign as I highly doubt they would massively cut costs and perceptibly decrease their rankings to make it cheap enough that lenders would risk giving

Also, land is not scarce in the south and midwest which is we haven't really seen a rise in price per square foot in 40 years [0] as it is basically all construction costs as you can build a new home in a new suburb at the edge of the

If you are referencing property taxes funding schools, you should know that it actually only funds about half of total school funding. The other half comes from federal and state governments and the way they give out funding is to selective

Without reforming zoning, it is largely useless. Sure it might cause some improvements in places underutilizing their land but I think most places are using their land for the highest value thing it is zoned for. If I have a SFH zoned for

Basically every city in the world is growing and thus demand is increasing. If you increase costs and make it unprofitable to build, nobody is going to build until the rising demand increases rent to make it profitable.
