Price certainty in law is not about making sophisticated legal work become “cheap”. But when done properly it does make the cost of inefficiency visible.

Using social media in middle school predicts lower standardized test scores in high school.

10th graders who started social media before 9th grade are ~6 months behind their peers on math & reading. They're more distracted by their phones.

No child should have access to social media.
