Sharing costs generates institutional incentives to keep costs down. Individualizing costs generates institutional incentives to charge more. Perverse incentives are the essence of what is wrong with US medical systems.
It could be attacked easily via an alliance with Mexico or Canada. The premise that such a thing could never happen is not a good one for military planning.
Does this not violate European privacy laws?
The anecdote is meant to illustrate not to substitute a full data set. Universities and other similar large institutions usually err systematically in one direction - that which protects the institution.
No one lives in rooms. Everyone in Madrid lives in apartment. The average salary refers to those who have a job. Most family units have some that don't.
Alternative approximate translation: while I urinate on you tell me it's raining.
In Madrid where the average monthly pretax salary is below 1500 a shared room with four strangers costs 400-709 a month and small aprtments in bad neighborhoods cost 3000-4000 a square meter to buy.
False. I live in Madrid and being near a metro station a. Has no issues (for almost all stations) and b. is considered highly desirable. 10 minute walk is considered a lot (mine is 5, to either of the two nearby…
The very few cases that result in sanctions are generally horrendously flagrant. With another professor I caught a flagrant case in a student thesis and we faced attacks from the university administration because the…
Rephrasing is worse than literal copying from a procedural point of view because it demonstrates intent and obviates a defense of mere incompetence.
A time honored practice of dysfunctional institutions when confronted with a problem is to stop paying any attention to it. Problem gone. It's one of the derivatives of quality control.
Professors suddenly realized everyone was cheating and started paying attention, but the cheating isn't new ... A lot of faculty are happy when their students get good grades because they interpret it as I'm such a good…
Absolutely inaccurate. I am nationalized Spaniard living here 2+ decades. Almost no one over 50 calls on the phone and when they do they almost always send a message first. The large public institution I work in is…
In Spain whatsapp is universal and necessary for everything personal and professional. Some hard core committed communists prefer telegram, but even they usually have to have whatsapp too. No one uses signal or even…
Most comments are just older commenters confirming what everyone over 50 knows, which is that young people are slow and stupid and not as competent as we were back then nor as competent as we are now. Every generation…
It's as recent as WWII was when Nixon got elected.
Irrelevant objection. Currently signalling support for Palestine is common online. In videogames in my country (Spain) every third player has some such signal (flag or phrase). It's not a serious protest, it's a sign of…

It's certainly true in Atlanta. That "cluster of shops" can be a long way walking (10-15 minutes) from where one resides. It's small, incomplete, inadequate, etc. I grew up in Atlanta proper, so know the city well, and…
There are major US cities where this is not the cae. Atlanta is an example. I've lived there without a car, but as a single man in my early 30s. It was not easy even for someone committed to the task. Even in the most…
Flooded roadways completely throw human drivers too.
They depend on public investment to build and support road infrastructure. If one accepts your point of view, these companies depend on massive government subsidies. Or perhaps they should pay for the construction and…
