You have to remember that Putin is trying to play the media fiddle.
He could probably get away with assassination of his biggest threats, but that wouldn't be media friendly.
Everyone assumes Putin shot the plane down, but there is no conclusive evidence, so he is still not the bad guy.
The plane he was on was a civilian travel plane, but it is also not a public airliner. The people on board were all very likely aware of the dangers of being transported with the Russian leader's most recent mutiny subject on board.
To assume they just boarded a plane randomly is a big stretch. That's like saying you hopped on Taylor Swifts airplane and didn't realize she was on it.
Putin is way more willing to put the lives of his own people at risk to portray a certain picture to the global media. Which yes, I agree is a sad reality.
So the community colleges in America are basically just for individuals that can't afford a university or can qualify to get into a university.
But generally it all costs money and you'll end up with student loans. This state had passed a "millionaires tax" and so far they have now made community college free and gave all students in the state free school lunches, cuz we also charge kids to eat at our public schools.
