Such a joke right? It's hard to find a good time to schedule most things if you are scheduled properly. My mom had some surgery were they said we aren't sure the day of your surgery but just in case be prepared. We'll let you know the night before, hope you are ready.
Also care speed isn't that bad in Europe, I went to a few clinics while I was there with short notice and didn't have any issues. Same as America honestly, the price difference though was way better though.
Wildfires are worse in areas where the wrong type of trees were planted as well which is common in logging areas or places cheaply "reforested" that don't do much research on what should be growing there. Wildfires themselves aren't bad per say either as certain trees only grow from fires. Not to say that climate change isn't a factor though, but there are a lot of varibles too.
Public services? Isn't that exactly why he is paid less.
Just imagine if he worked somewhere private.
Deserve is an interesting phrase, who really does deserve more? The more you go down that rabbit hole the less you'll think people deserve in general.
That said. I only have an associate degree and even I made $70k at a regular tech job working with someone with a PhD. I got lucky though before, too bad he didn't.
Copernicus was well liked by the church and so his ideas that Galileo would make more popular weren't a problem originally, Copernicus books were fine for quite a while. The real problem was Galileo was just not well liked and there were all sorts of church issues going on at the time. The church or some aspects would later apologize like 20 years later after the event saying they went too far. Copernicus of course ran into stuff other Greeks and other cultures had seen far before. You make it sound like "Always had been" literally always had been when throughout history it was much debated and even acceptable without issue. I'm not Catholic though so I might get some of their history or terminology a bit mixed up but still. Throughout history various people have debated this topic and I know more about it from my Greek history class by accident then anything - Aristarchus of Samos was well known for debating for it and others following did try to prove it etc. Had the Greeks been more sure and had more proofs the church would have defaulted to that since so much was based on Greek thought but alas, people can only do so much in a time.
If they ask for the impossible then perhaps things are not looking good for the company. I think you better figure out somewhere else to go soon because that tends to mean they won't last much longer. It's a tough market but there is always hope, try and build out some side projects and get out before your company starts to fold or you are let go. Sometimes just a change of view is nice so maybe try something different.
Actually population world wide is dropping considerably and there are more empty houses per person then ever. Just almost no one can afford to live in them (only building expensive) or like rural they are just too expensive to repair. Some places are selling for $1 or giving away free houses because they know no one can afford them. Japan, Italy, Midwest America sometimes even pays you to move there out of desperation.
1€ houses were not because no one can afford them. It was because no one wanted them. And they were crap. For slightly more(tens of thousands) you could get something at least habitable. These schemes are not to combat prices, but desirability of area due to things like no opportunities.
American medical practices are predatory, you literally never know what you are paying for until after you agreed to it. This type of debt should not be legal. The fact no one knows until months later is just idiotic.
Do you agree to pay for a car with no idea the cost? Then find random bills from people who glanced at the car or might be involved even if you didn't meet them? Well too bad if you want to visit a doctor you have to.
In what world should this this possible? I got a in-network nose examine that I'm happy my insurance paid the $1k+ for the 5 min examine to find out my nose was normal. I didn't realize there was a third party bill though, while it wasn't much imagine if I had some $5k examine or $20k examine, I'd not know the difference until I got the bill because it's America. You'd think since the insurance and hospital are same company this could be easier but no, multiple different payment companies for the different types of bills too. I have to look in multiple areas to check everything is paid for. How much more overly complicated can they make it?
Completely agreed. If supermarkets operated like the medical industry, you may or may not pay for your food at the checkout but then over the next year you'd get arbitrary bills from the cashier, stocking clerk, truck drivers, the busker standing outside, etc. Obviously this would destroy any semblance of a market dynamic. And lo and behold when we look at the medical industry we see complete market failure, having taken most patient agency along with it.
There have to be laws backing up this nonsensical practice of sending arbitrary and inflated post-facto bills, because if anybody else engaged in this sort of thing it would rightly be considered fraud. Such a privilege may have made sense back when the medical industry was more honest and less brazenly extractive, but at this point it's a dynamic they've set up around enthusiastically abusing. One of the main pillars of any type of healthcare reform should be getting rid of such laws, and then AGs going after any company that continues engaging in this type of billing fraud.
There are many many reasons for war, not just because Putin wrote a fancy paper long ago about his aspirin, or because the drought in Crimea was costing Russia tons of money since they took over and had their water cut off or the falling population and economy that purposely did not reinvest properly to keep Putin in power.
Giving a simple answer is not wrong if the long one takes much longer to explain. Multiple factors can be true, I'm sure Russia was uneasy that Siberia wanted to leave and with Ukraine gone they would have no direct access to water there. And the threat of China slowing taking over Russian land *with Russian permission of course*. Russia has attempted to do something even if extremely poorly miscalculated. That's kinda what Russia is known for, doing something and very often failing at it.
They have been lucky, sometimes clever but often terrible truly terrible at long term long planning. Ask their unpatriotic AI what it thinks, they will get mad about it too.
I kinda feel most Americans should be trying to walk more... but also if the schedules and stops were improved people would use it far more. I'd like to take a tram or bus I just don't want to spend an extra 40+/- mins getting there to arrive with no protection from the weather. I don't particularly like taxis much but at least they figure out where you need to go without too much effort, I do drive though way more then I taxi. Taxis are more rare trips for traveling in places I don't know or can't drive. I wish we had high speed trains where I lived in my capital city, just an easy way to travel to the major cities by train would make my day. I'd travel far more often if I could then. Trains to me are the best of all worlds.
