Do you not remember that the Republican majority SCOTUS declared his attempt to unilaterally forgive student debt to be illegal? That’s why they’re going through different categories of loans type by type and doing it in batches to ensure each one is on solid legal ground that even this SCOTUS would find difficult to overturn. His first batch after the SCOTUS ruling literally cited a legal basis that SCOTUS had affirmed!
Most of what you ask for requires a Democrat majority so big that they can both pass new laws AND expand SCOTUS. You’re blaming them for things they have no power over.
Trump would be worse on all metrics you mentioned. He WAS worse on them during his presidency! Even the best policies you might cite was introduced by democrats!
Would I try to make things better even for strangers if I had no empathy?
I know why plenty of them feel what they feel. But they’re assigning blame in the wrong directions, in large part due to propaganda, and that propaganda needs to be countered or else there won’t be enough support to actually implement the fixes.
Interestingly enough it’s the same kind of historical relationship with Russia and Ukraine, where Russia claims rights over Ukraine due to “shared history”, when in fact the details of that history supports Ukraine claiming Russia instead.

When loudness is described there’s often lists with examples of things with their typical loudness specified in dB, so you can compare against things you may have heard.
Destructive interference is a thing. The energy of the vibrations doesn’t go away, however you CAN shift that energy into different frequencies and destructive interference done correctly will effectively shift it into so high frequencies that the vibrations are better compared with heat than with sound (what is heat convection anyway if not extremely high frequency sound? :)
