- US vs Canada startups: US VC exits totaled $2.6T over a decade vs $56B in Canada, with 4,000+ exits over $10M vs fewer than 200; Canadian families get ~$21K/yr in public support vs ~$12K for Americans.
- Private school gap widens: Private schools spend ~$75K per student vs $15K in public schools, a ~$600-700K gap over 12 years; SAT gap between lower-income and upper-income kids is 250 points.
