Wait a minute... Does the name of the currency come from payments that were not counted but weighed? Gotta check.
ETA: Oh my gosh yes, one pound sterling (currency) was originally one pound (weight) of sterling silver. I'm probably the last person to discover this, but still that's pretty cool.
I'm absolutely a dog person, still I wouldn't allow dogs in my bedroom, let alone on the bed. While the first is just a bit bothersome, I think the second one to be pretty icky.
The (over)simplified reason: Students have no lobby. They pay no taxes and generally create no public or monetary values while going to school. Investing in them might be a really good idea for the wider future, but a legislature is only so long and noone wants to invest a fortune only to get nothing back. Later when the students grow up, they forget the struggle or even romanticize it. Then it's "today's kids" that just seem lazy and demanding. So the people that used to go to school have no intention of changing the system either. Of course there are exceptions. That's probably the only reason things are changing at all. It's happening, just way too slow.
This is so sad. We need a better plan to implement these goals, keeping things as easy and profitable as possible, not abandon them altogether. Now I fear we're at another point of just doing nothing, making matters worse each year for everyone, especially farmers.
Is this some kind of American joke that I'm too European to understand?
Tbf medieval pictures aren't exactly known for their great use of perspective and proportions

They're really just socks for adults but in oh so tiny. The little man's favorite color was green at the time and he still always took off his socks off everwhere. But not these babies! They were his favorite as long as they fit. They're made from acrylic iirc.
Yeah, half of the global landmasses flooded, the other half being deserts that experience natural catastrophes on a daily basis and, as the ocean currents we know change or disappear completely, suffer from both extreme heat and cold periods, sounds just like a dream come true.
Hm I'm not convinced that's a good idea or even one that works. It probably only drives those who can't afford sell-at-loss prices into insolvency before prices rise again. Imo the high gas prices aren't even the main problem, it's the lack of affordable and reliable alternatives.
Or maybe they were creeped out because you said things way too mature
That's a really misleading article. Badly written and polarizing by leaving out crucial information. It's basically clickbait.
The GDP per capita, adjusted for purchasing power, in the US was at $76,398.6 in 2022, while the Euro Area had $56,494.2 and the EU $54,248.6. A gap is there but it's not nearly as dramatic as this article makes it sound.
(I'm sure most of you know this, but I'm still clarifying for the few who don't.)

Für gewöhnlich trinke ich Oatly, schon allein wegen des Calzium Zusatzes. Geht aber ganz schön aufs Portemonnaie, wenn sie nicht grade reduziert ist. Deshalb halte ich gerne die Augen nach günstigeren Alternativen offen.
