Sounds like an extreme outlier, areas with such concentrated wealth which has crowded out the working class and lower-middle class are rare, most students will never attend a school like that.

In many ways K-12 schools are run like prisons, with administrators playing god and throwing fits when challenged about their petty actions, students trapped in an environment not of their choosing, and society enforcing this structure.
I wish there were more diverse options for schooling, as I would've been much more interested in K-12 school had I been encouraged to dive into a subject, then asked to prove my knowledge, without the distraction of other subjects splitting my focus. College definitely offers much more flexibility in this regard, which has made for a much better experience.
The host should throttle resources in the interim if its at risk of running up massive bills or adversely impacting other clients. None of this is breaking new ground, there isn't a good reason for large hosts to act like shit.
Edit: I stand corrected ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
The one time I used their phone support, the guy I got was fairly helpful. They seem like a hands off company overall.
A fly by night will often only suspend the VM or database that is in question, not other services on the account (having been in that position before).

On a slightly different tangent, you likely have a failing disk or RAM.
HCSEC asked your company to update to modern OpenSSL a year ago and implement reproducible builds. Neither issue has been handled, and these LTE basestations are extremely vulnerable due to the inaction of your employer.

Combined with the poor engineering of your employer's Windows drivers, it is reasonable to cease use of Huawei developed software. Security is obviously not a priority, leaving users of Huawei software vulnerable to any person who can be bothered to look up a few CVEs and run Metasploit against your companies products.
Poorly written Windows Driver (priv escalation): https://www.tomshardware.com/news/microsoft-backdoor-huawei-...
HCSEC asked Huawei to update these vulnerable libraries last year when Huawei promised a $2 billion investment in security, yet this really basic firmware maintenance task has yet to be performed.
Huawei also did the same thing with a Windows driver: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2019/03/how-microsoft-found-...
This company does not give a fuck about security, even when they are under scrutiny. It isn't the "Chinese hackers" I'm afraid of, but rather normal blackhats and greyhats exploiting this cornucopia of vulnerable software to our detriment.
I live in Seattle and have watched that hackjob of a video, they've fenced the underside of many bridges that homeless used to camp under, most recently the West Seattle and Ballard bridges have been fenced.
Your obviously disgruntled, move somewhere else!
Frankly, Sinclair owned stations should be required to have common branding if they are going to share the exact same website design, news content and management, anything less is deceiving the public.
The one person I know who is getting full state funding for community college in Oregon is waiting to see if the program they're in will be renewed next year. If not, they won't be continuing on to a bachelors degree. Note that this program is only for those that are essentially financially destitute.
Edit: All I can find is the Oregon Promise covering only up to 18k highschool students with a GPA over 2.5. This program does not cover anything beyond Community College. Seems much more limited/shitty than the Seattle Promise (free Community College for all highschoolers)
Huawei's products are vulnerable by default, anyone can look up the applicable CVEs and run the proof of concept code for said CVE to pop a shell. China doesn't have exclusive access :)

I'm proud that my state mandates free, open access to property ownership records and county/city maps & GIS data. Property appraisal in Washington State sounds much easier to do than in Texas where this data is locked away from the general public, as another thing counties and cities do here is rate structural build quality, integrity, and also have a bank of photos of the property over the years (generally whenever a permit is pulled or the age of the last photo set is over a few years old) as part of the public record.
The Unifi suite is great for a small to medium business that is game to splash out $600 to $1500 (having the Unifi switch is critical to seamless VLAN tagging internally), but for homes and larger businesses or those with fast connections that want more than a basic router, the Unifi lineup doesn't have the grunt.
Only TI ever really went all in with a fully open stack that had support mainlined, problem being by the time their chips had full support upstream they'd be lagging 1 to 2 years behind Qualcomm, Nvidia, Mediatek, Allwinner, Spreadtrum, etc while having a much higher cost per chip, most of said cost being the decently written and upstreamed drivers.
For longer lived architectures (eg: AMD/Intel CPUs) totally new device drivers aren't needed on launch day, in part due to older upstreamed drivers still mostly working with newer hardware.
None of the aforementioned vendors besides TI ever got into this virtuous cycle of having upstreamed drivers, thus they've trapped their devices on sketchy, unstable & insecure BSPs that hurt the reliability, performance and sometimes the market image of the final product (eg: when the device randomly crashes or gets exploited due to latent bugs).
Amazon Fresh used to be quite popular in Seattle a half decade ago, but I barely see their empty containers anymore. I think Amazon saw their volume falling with Amazon Fresh and was threatened by their vendors and wholesalers with higher prices, thus purchasing Whole Foods to attempt to stabilize their cost on goods.
