A more productive view would be looking at an index of tech companies - try QQQ.

Change the legal definition of corporations? Corporations exist to provide liablity protections to sharholders, which means they are mainly incentivized to externalize costs and avoid liability to maximize profit, or even to make profit in businesses that would not be profitable if they could be held liable for externalized costs (deep sea oil well drilling).

The plan is everybody but Trump loses.


In capitalism, society gets what it rewards. If it wants more children it must pay the market price, just like everything else.

If it wants educated, productive children, it must also pay the market price and that price is exorbitant.

At some point, US tech companies will (maybe have already outspent) the US education system k-12 and at some point surpassing all the ivy colleges just for training some ai models.


The USA spends close to a trillion dollars annually on K-12 education, so you are only off by about 3 orders of magnitude.
