Are there any studies done on how much linux can save governments money if they do a whole migration?
Microsoft are deep into the government with exchange and Active Directory with most being migrated to Microsoft365 and Azure.
Add in MS Teams, SharePoint, MS SQL, 30 years of business rules living in old excel macros that ends up running the entire company.
Windows enterprise licences would be a tiny part of their spend and far too costly to mitigate away from. Most large corporations are virtualising old windows version just to keep their existing legacy apps runnings.

Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds
It is not always easy for consumers in any country to tell whether a product contains added sugar, and how much is present, based on nutritional information printed on packaging alone.
That seems like the problem that actually needs solving.

It’s interesting to me that you point out how far we have fallen as a society, yet your suggested solution is free childcare to enable more of the same.
As humans shouldn’t we be asking harder questions? Why is our entire family structure working longer and harder for less?
The change we need is single income households being viable again and our elderly being in a position to retire.

It’s concerning that you think “just buy new stuff” is reasonable and that Windows should only work on new hardware out of the box.

Dual income households are only essential as incomes haven’t kept pace with the increase to living costs. The working class were conned into it being the new normal.
You’ve taken it a step further by saying that even grandparents are working longer which reduces babysitting options.
Yet at no point have you identified you’ve been hoodwinked. You just want to keep pressing forward, working harder for longer with free childcare. Worse still you don’t seem to understand that it is a fall as we are all worse off because of it.

A cargo ship’s ‘WindWing’ sails saved it up to 12 tons of fuel per day
Looks like this only works for bulk haulage and wouldn’t be compatible with intermodal freight (shipping containers)

“I’ll tell you how I feel about school, Jerry: It’s a waste of time. Bunch of people runnin’ around bumpin’ into each other, got a guy up front says, ‘Two plus two,’ and the people in the back say, ‘Four.’ Then the bell rings and they give you a carton of milk and a piece of paper that says you can go take a dump or somethin’. I mean, it’s not a place for smart people, Jerry. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but that’s my two cents on the issue.” — Rick

A temperature system would be good for aged content. Content that isn’t considered hot is dropped from federated instances and only lives on the parent.
If some old thread goes viral years later it is hot again and refederated until it cools. Old content would be replaced with a link back to original instance.
Edit: Drop temp to be server side config as some instances may want to be archives
