It is not the case that free universities are necessarily 2nd tier. QS World Univerity rankings puts ETH Zurich, a free university, as #6 overall. Times Higher Education world ranking lists ETH Zurich as #13 overall.
The other Swiss flagship university, EPFL, which is also free, is ranked #14 overall in the QS world ranking.

Citizen's Climate Lobby (CCL) does non-partisan lobbying for carbon fee and dividend in the USA, Canada and the EU. They lobby on the local and federal level, getting endorsements, tabling, getting bills introduced and writing articles and letters to newspapers. A list of CCL accomplishments is here: https://citizensclimatelobby.org/about-ccl/accomplishments/

But what about Contract Bridge? Is there an open source program that will play the other three hands? A machine learning program would be ideal, but any decent open source program would be fine.
