I think you're very wrong about educational funding. There's a high correlation between a schools relative wealth and its relative academic success in each state (mainly tied to property taxes). Yes, I'm sure there are except

Some poor people are just born into bad situations and stay that way. You can't extrapolate your limited experience onto all of them.

So am I understanding correctly that "market research" means selling data mining insights to advertisers? Do you expect this to be a significant portion of revenue? (I don't have a problem with this- I'm just curious.)

I'm curious about the endemic reasons. Overall, is it that being closer to the product feels better? And did you really shake all the "weird feelings"/impostor syndrome about charging a high rate?

I'm in my early 20s but I had major back pain for about 6 months. I thought it was caused by my limited flexibility and trying to lift too much weight at the gym without maintaining proper form. My lazy posture didn't help the hea

How do you propose we fix the education system? The largest predictor of educational success, like you said, is money. You can try to equalize, but the rich will always find ways to spend more money on their children's education. I don
