Many people don't understand the global geopolitical implications. Increases in the demand for As in the US make it vulnerable to bad actors applying strategic pressure on the global supply!

“In 712 Harvard course offerings last year, every enrolled undergraduate received an A.” “In another 532, A’s were common enough that the class would have violated the…newly approved grade cap.” “Together, those courses made up more than half of all undergraduate course[s].”
