My wife is homeschooling next year.

What's my incentive to take the considerable effort, burn what political capital I may have, and use my little spare energy to overcome the enertia of the terrible situation?

There are more options in the US, all those choices have costs that make the US more expensive.

This is 'new' success I prefer classic success or classical success.

The unsuccessful multicultural countries are worse.

Shame was the light touch prevention method. Other methods extract a higher toll.
