It's demonstrably false though. Let's take your example, public schools. They have to allow free speech, even if they don't like it. Whatever else is wrong with that, this isn't it. And the same will be true for Twitter.

Fucking lol. Not only is free speech dangerous in Universities, I'll give you a better apolitical example from my highschool.

They fucking doubled the parking lot fees. The student government complained that this was too severe of a raise. They told the student government to go fucking pound sand. The student government then began actively complaining and getting vociferous about it. They got told to eat shit. Then the student government decided to hold off-site protests. The school told them that they were going to cut 50% of the funding to the student government. Then the student government said they would protest in the gym, during school lunch (which students were normally allowed to go to), because the conduct of the school was now getting properly out of control.

That day, the principle made an announcement just before the allotted time. Anyone going to the gym at that time would be arrested by the police and expelled. The teachers physically barred people from entering the gym, standing in front of the door ways in a long line, along with 3-5 police officers in full duty gear, including open-carrying firearms. The student government president and the principle quietly glared at each other with some pretty serious hostility.

That was on Tuesday. On Friday there was a pep rally. At the pep rally, the Vice Principle announced that the Student Government had been dissolved, the student government charter had been revoked and re-written, and there would be new elections. It is probably the most obstinate and bald-faced display of power I've probably ever seen in the US.

Literally: "I love democracy".

Then, there was a time I may have accidentally caused a wave of nationalist sentiment in my highschool's fake olympics. Again, similar results: national flags and displays were banned and physically removed from the school (except for the American flag that was already posted in some classrooms). Several people were given detention.

It was fake nationalism. I just wanted to make Aruba proud.

Highschools are prisons. Students don't have free speech, and they don't have rights, unless you've got an attorney present. And even then, be prepared to have the police arrest you. I know what SCOTUS said back in the 70's about protesting the Vietnam War, but that was the Left supporting Leftism. Political dissent is not tolerated in public school. Check that: dissent is not tolerated in public school.

And in part, it was because regulations on how much banks could put into risky investments were relaxed or abolished.

Yes, because the government wanted the over investment in the first place to create more Diverse first time homebuyers. That was a regulatory incentive.

At the moment, is it countries with universal healthcare that have the more healthy attitude towards the Covid vaccines, or the US? I see people being denied organ transplants for not being vaccinated there.

I just got Covid and nobody even asked me anything.

"Oh wow, sucks".

That dude probably lives in an evil blue state.
