To simplify: the thing that made American higher-ed unique was the institutional organization around education as a PUBLIC GOOD, rather than as an elite training ground, or job training.
This aspect is nearly dead, killed by a thousand budget cuts.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.
One of the bragging rights that the US ed system had in the 20th century is that we didn't have education tracks. Essentially, any kid could go to a CC or state school & major in whatever they wanted to (obviously an oversimplification). I fear this aspect of the American dream is dying.

Classic example of bad liberal theology overplaying their hand in ways that ruin the beauty of a thing
👉"Mary is the Mother of God, but she is not the 'Co-Redemptrix' or 'Mediatrix of all Graces,' and it is 'not appropriate' for Catholics to refer to her in this manner.

OpenAI pirated large numbers of books and used them to train models.
OpenAI then deleted the dataset with the pirated books, and employees sent each other messages about doing so.
A lawsuit could now force the company to pay $150,000 per book, adding up to billions in damages.

I would also just like to point out that to whatever extent nonprofits and churches *do* step up to help meet some portion of the need that is being cruelly inflicted on the poor for no reason, that is time, energy, and money that cannot now be used to meet *other* needs
Faith leaders — as well as faith-based food banks — have long argued they absolutely cannot independently handle the raw number of people currently served by government food assistance programs.
They argued it again last week in Congress, calling the idea a "lie". religionnews.com/2025/10/30/f...
