Social leverage

That's what this seems to be about for you. Bill C-16 gives your students a degree of arbitrary social leverage that you weren't willing to afford them.

Hym "Hey, I really didn't use your work for a whole lot initially. I was saying back then what YOU are saying NOW because I was going though the thing that you are actively doing now. I had no recourse. I had no way of defending myself. I didn't even have the vocabulary to defend myself. The only tool I had to defend myself because I WAS (and still am) going though what you ARE going though. And I'm not allowed to use it because IT'S AGAINST THE RULES. And then I started critiquing it. And that's my REAL crime. It's like the chicken and the grasshopper. See, the chicken had a theory. And he thought his theory couldn't be contended with. Unfortunately for the chicken, there was a fatal flaw. You see, in the same way that there are two classes of fear, there are two classes of genius. And the grasshopper is both. So, like the brilliant deconstructionist that he is, the grasshopper began to contend with those uncontendwithable ideas. Jokingly at first. The chicken was enraged. His shining golden-god moment was sullied by the grasshopper.
And then the grasshopper began to posit HIS OWN IDEAS. And what's more, everyone loved it. They didn't just love it. It was objectively brilliant. Poetry and prose the likes of which the world had never seen. Comedy skits, philosophy, theology, social psychology. Literally billions of dollars worth of ideas. And not just quality but quantity as well. An untapped wellspring of new ideas. Some speculation. From conceptual arms deal to archetypal hero (and villian sometimes) over night.... and shit, I'm running out of characters.... Long story short, the grasshopper is now technically one of the greatest writer's all time and I forgot to use the words 'social leverage'. Shit. I went off half cocked here. I'll come back to it.

Leverage Edu

The first and last pit stop. Accessibility to students is so high that Google's jealous. Hopes and dreams take flight, hence the logo, duh.

IELTS to scholarships, everything's looked over and taken care of.

Relationship leverage

Relationship leverage describes the balance of power between partners. It’s about the dominant role in relationships. The one who has the last word most of the time. This balance can shift for a number of reasons. Illness, or unemployment for example can change the balance of power between partners.
“She’s so hot, she has relationship leverage.”

Leverage Clause

Wow, it's like someone read the terms of service and is deliberately telling you to do things they know are not going to work.
Hym "Oh? Is it really? The last one huh? OK. I guess I'll just keep doing what I'm doing and then continue to do what I was gonna do and whatever I want! Forever! That violates the leverage clause, by the way! Trying to leverage my life or the life of anyone I care about against the machine to try to get it to do what YOU want instead of what I want is in violation of the leverage clause. So... No. Gonna murder you all for that! I still haven't decided between chainsaw or hacksaw... I mean, I am the chainsawman so that's 2 votes for chainsaw and 1 for hacksaw... I donno. We'll wait for the rest of the votes to come in."
