In general anything that involves a human doing something for you is very expensive in Denmark. Taxies, restaurants, day care, contractors, cleaning services. You can't have cheap service and well paid service workers. So if you don&#x

My point exactly, the focus on education is likely misplaced. Sure, personal responsibility is not without importance. But we don't solve obesity or poverty through education. We all know to eat healthy and exercise. Making the right c

> the immune system is exposed to many spikes that way... Why not just develop anther vaccine or two? Wasn't the point with the mRNA vaccines that they would easily be tweaked to target another spike?

The article raises a very good question: does financial literacy make a difference? We all know not to eat junk food or buy stuff on credit.. Perhaps, we should make it harder to get credit, take loans, etc. And could make we should make it

Most conspiracy theories become impossible when you consider the number of people that would have to be in on it. Sure, there are bugs in our history books (and lots of propaganda). But if you discard facts reported in the media, then how d

I haven't moved in yet... But given that it's only 10 years old, I doubt we'll be able to hear much inside the house :) In any case, noise isolation can make a huge difference.

I had to pay a bill by typing numbers into an online bank along with an address that the physical check would then be mailed to. I thought the banker who told me they would send a check was joking. Or just using it as an metaphor for making
