Ignoring externalities remains popular. We live in a society. I can’t build a helipad on my roof in the middle of Seattle. Technically that’s a limitation on my personal liberty. We accept it because of the cost to the people around me.

School is about wide exposure to concepts that wouldn’t be encountered elsewhere. The goal is to teach students how to think, not what to think. The actual subject matter is irrelevant. I don’t remember if the area of a triangle in my

How are you still not getting this? The change is not about owning radio towers. It allows ownership of the programming , including local news production. This is a move for centralization of editorial control. You might not care but
