I agree, through the lens of unfetted capitalism, but, with adequate regulation, I don’t think this is a necessary outcome. Although, perhaps “unfetted capitalism” isn’t capitalism?

Would putting something like “#Elon” at the end of the post accomplish the same?
"Hi there, folks! It’s me, Bees in My Head Benson, and boy, oh boy, do I have some un-bee-lievable deals for you today! I—OW!—can barely think with all these bees buzzin’ around in here, but that just means my prices are as WILD as my brain! You want a blender that doubles as a flamethrower? BAM! $19.99! Want a lamp that leaks honey when you turn it on? BOOM! Only $8.50, and it probably won’t attract more bees—OW!—probably!
Now, don’t even get me started on this thing—what is this thing?—it’s a… uh… a honey-coated shovel! Great for digging or swatting away bees, like the ones in my head! It’s yours for $3.00! Three dollars! I’m losing money here, folks! But who cares, right? I’ve got BEES! IN MY HEAD! CONSTANTLY! Buzz, buzz, buzz, right? OW!
So come on down before the bees take over entirely—OH NO, THEY’RE IN MY EARS! That’s bad! That’s REALLY bad! Don’t miss out on these sweet deals before I end up in the hospital or, uh, a beekeeper’s nightmare!" [1]

What specific features are you looking for?

[…] Which is why I’ll also assert that Literature classes as taught in later high school and into college aren’t really designed to be communication proficiency classes but art appreciation classes. […]
I think this is a fair point to make. I agree. Though, I would like to point out that that isn’t me downplaying “art appreciation”, but I agree that it is different than a subject targeted at improving clear communication.

[…] I recommend recurring training.
For clarity, do you mean, for example, being required to re-pass a drivers test to renew one’s license?
Instead of adding it to a mandatory school curriculum, would you be satisfied with a more strict licensing process?
More what I’m getting at, regardless of language used in Shakespeare is whether you think Shakespeare, as a whole, is obsolete. So, iiuc, you aren’t saying that you think that Shakespeare, as a whole, is obsolete, but that that the language used within it is, which makes it difficult to read?
[…] I propose that teaching Shakespeare instead of more in depth driver’s ed isn’t entirely ethical. […]
I think you misunderstood me. To be completely fair, I was rather vague. I wasn’t arguing that one was more ethical than the other. My argument about ethics was from the perspective of further subsidizing something that already receives enormous subsidies — ie driving and cars (this is conjecture at the moment, but I can go into more detail if you’d like).
[…] If they get something wrong behind the wheel of a car, what’s the worst that can happen? […]
Out of curiosity, do you live in an area that doesn’t require a driver’s license in order to be legally allowed to drive on a public road?
How many hours of the average American’s life will be spent behind the wheel of a car? […]
Would it be a goal of yours to reduce the amount of time that one spends driving in their life? If so, do you think that teaching drivers ed in school will achieve that end?
[…] replace it with a semester of “living in the world” lessons that might just be a week of driver’s ed, that field trip to the fire department, some first aid, just cram a semester full of basic adulting skills.
Okay, but that isn’t what you said prior — that’s shifting the goalpoasts. You specifically said
[…] Replace them with a semester of […] fire safety […]
[…] the reason we teach Shakespeare in high schools is because English teachers like it […]
Hm, this feels like conjecture. Do you have proof of that?
