Some people have bad experiences where they lost trust in people and therefore treat the lack of trust as experience. That if you aren't as paranoid as they are, you don't know as much as they do.

Also, some people are bad to work with or are mediocre at their jobs, especially at communication. This is how they cover for themselves. It isn't their fault that they messed up, you didn't tell them something that they should have realized they should have asked but it is easier just to blame you.

Most private universities provide significant aid to students; they actively engage in price discrimination.

Out of state tuition earns more than in-state, but there are additional fees that foreign students pay.

As for the money, it goes into a lot of the facilities and university operations. Universities are big clout chasers, so they will try to spend money to increase prestige.

I feel like a lot of people were more prudish back then. What he did didn't harm anyone.

That is what happens when you get cancelled. It just happened to be that this was one person doing all the work rather than it getting distributed across the fan base.

That was such bullshit over something so small.

It felt a lot more that she was getting cancelled because she was an easy target.

If we are talking about sustaining agriculture, likely not but it wouldn't be a heat related problem.

Any decent plant growth needs a soil base, and Antarctica's soil is likely to be incredibly shallow and not bioactive. If you look at places like Iceland and the Scottish Highlands, those places lost a lot of soil as forestry removed the topsoil protection. You would need to implement significant resources into improving very marginal agricultural land.

Also, while the continent is covered in ice, there isn't much in terms of precipitation.

Define "habitable".

Several countries maintain year round outposts. The facilities are generally used for science and claiming territory, but tourism is becoming bigger and restrictions on mining and fishing may go away. That could create economically sustainable communities, even if they rely on trade for their non-fish food.

Beyond that, I doubt that the continent could sustain more life than it currently has unless parts of the continent were forested.

There are several Arctic civilizations that subsist on a meat heavy diet.

The economy was due for a recession. It just happened to be that Trump has done a lot of things to make it worse.

Schools don't make money on domestic students, so a drop in domestic enrollment isn't a major issue as long as foreign enrollment and research stays constant.
