In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.
It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.
There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

"All corners of public life are showing gradual signs of accommodating Trump. Some of the voices most critical of him three weeks ago have grown more measured. Others have gone silent."

In the UK, Farage has decided to take the pay of US evangelical groups. He’s now spouting anti-abortion tripe and will go full-on MAGA anytime soon.
I don’t think it’ll play in the UK. The real danger is if the media starts making this sort of stuff part of the “conversation”.

The Tariff Act of 1930 was designed for protectionist trade. It imposed high tariffs on over 20,000 imported goods which led to retaliatory tariffs from other countries.
