How much is the profit? 30% is revenue not profit.

Why is money per employee a useful metric? One would expect most costs of a store like steam to be in hardware and network not in labor.

US companies can ~~fuck off~~ withdraw from the EU.

Also the US is not pro free speech. The first amendment only prevents the government from censoring not private entities such as twitter and other social media. They can in fact and do censor their users so them crying wolf about being censored themselves is ironic. After all they are not even human unlike (well some of) their users.

No DRM digital files downloads is the simple answer. There is no reason to go back to physical media to avoid subscriptions.

Keep in mind that DVDs did have DRM and the corps did try and get at the people who broke it. A new and improved physical media would have DRM and it's possible the corporations will prevent it being defeated this time.

Which means that yoy would only be able to play it on approved hardware. You can have your shiny disc but they will decide if you can play it. Perhaps they can detect how many people are present via a camera or require you do drink that verification can.

It is practical; Wholely tax funded universities do not charge students.

Why do you think OP is not aware that there are costs to be paid but merely disagrees with using sports as a way to pay for it?

You even used the word Utopian. Well most universities are not financed via sports even non public ones. Far from Utopian.

Paying via taxes is not charging students.

You do not pay taxes based on your use of public education or use of any other public service but based on your income and/or wealth.

If you do not make sufficient income as a student to pay taxes or enough taxes to cover the cost of your education your public education is in fact free to you.

If making up imaginary scenarios in your mind that have no chance of happening makes you feel better go for it my man.

And while he won't face any charges himself the military will refuse to execute what is an obviously unlawful order.

Is it even christian to force a sermon onto people

Well historically Christian denominations have been quite pushy to say the least.
