Most places, you don't get what you pay for. Government schools are now costing in the vicinity of $8000/year per student. That's $240,000 for a class of 30. Who's stealing the money?
"Occasionally, it is worth wondering why you're having to send people out in riot gear in the first place."
Always, and all the way down. Including who's instigating the riot, who's providing weapons, who's distributing leaflets on how to antagonize the cops and treat injuries and hide the dye stains sprayed on the rioters.
"In the future, over time, things will shift again."
Cause and effect is at work here. Protection of rights properly implemented causes wealth and technical advancement. If the USA continues to protect rights in the best manner, it will continue to attract the best people. To the extent that religion and other defects degrade rights protection, the advantage will fade.
Although Washington attended church, he disagreed so strongly with some Christian beliefs that he would walk out rather than take part in communion. Does the word "cannibalism" mean anything to you?
It used to be the case that (for instance) ICs had to be fabricated in the US. IIRC, later on the requirement was loosened to have a certified fab in the US capable of making the ICs, even if all the ICs were made elsewhere. It's been more than 20 years since I've been in that part of the industry; I have no idea what the requirements are now.
Los Angeles has a bus system covering over 1000 square miles. New York has commuter trains coming in from as far away as New Haven (80 miles). It's possible, but it's inconvenient, and if you value your time at more that $1.00/hour it's not economical.
The U.S. founders were very well versed in ancient history, and the excesses of Greek and Roman governments were also on their minds when they designed the constitution.
Assuming that you're on a flat surface, all but the most poorly designed SUVs will skid rather than tip over, at any speed. Passenger cars are even better.
That's all current vegetable oil production. Serious, forward-looking studies of biodiesel consider growing new crops specifically optimized for oil production. IIRC an area 105 miles square would suffice for the entire energy requirements of the U.S..
Clueless! The output frequency from a PLL is determined by the input frequency (precise to better than 0.01%) and counters in the PLL (absolutely accurate). Any deviation in the output frequency is very short term and is called jitter.
Although there is a place internal to the PLL where the frequency is controlled by a voltage, that place is inside the loop and does not affect frequency measurements.
Resistor values are determined by having an equal geometric spacing in each decade. For 5% resistors, there are 24 values per decade. 10^(16/24) = 4.6415... and is rounded up to 4.7.
I haven't checked any motherboards, but I think the real time clock usually has its own crystal, independent from the rest of the clocks on the motherboard.
The problem with remorse is that it comes too late. Feeling bad about what you've maliciously done wrong is inadequate. You must not do wrong in the first place, which requires a properly directed sense of responsibility, among other things.
My high school physics teacher was (for all practical purposes) fired for teaching from a book such as you described (in 1971). Not that the information in the book was that ancient, but that it was too practical and students were expecting lessons so esoteric that there was no relation to daily reality.

Mexico is currently attacking the US, with training camps located near the border. We call the invaders "illegal aliens" and employ them.
You're new here, aren't you?

Should I be moderate in moderation? Should I only be moderately good? Moderately wise? Moderately healthy? Moderately alive?

One theory of the cause of the black death is that Christians rejected many of the advances of Roman civilization, especially sanitation.

Also Thailand.
New York to India (over Atlantic Ocean and eastern Europe) is shorter than Los Angeles to India.

And more slippery too! But we're never going to have to apply the brakes, right?
I'd really hate to hit a moose at 300 mph.

Do you know what "exponentially" means?
Air drag is roughly proportional to the square of speed.

What part of the words "free" and "totalitarian" do you not understand?

You are a doughnut?
Actually, about a year ago I saw a brief article "Scientists discover sugar in Milky Way". There was spectroscopic evidence of simple sugars in space.
