Shuttle busses also go to places far from Silicon Valley such as Berkeley, Santa Cruz, etc. I do think that many of those people wouldn't work in Silicon Valley without the shuttles.

You indeed are wrong. Thousands of units of high density housing is being constructed currently.

Yes, 401k, IRA, etc. But your concern of their limitations applies to so few people. Roughly 30% of people have less than $1000 saved for retirement, in any kind of account [1] Roughly 55% of people have less than $25K saved, in any kind

Retirement accounts don't affect financial aid, they are not even asked for on the FAFSA. Only if they had savings in a non-retirement account-- where they could use it for things other than retirement-- it would affect your financial

That's the point of financial aid. Merit scholarships exist for the latter.

Your comment clearly does not address the article, which makes no mention of the things you cite (union-based government, etc).

If South Korea produced quality education, then why would there be such a huge demand for private, after-school tutors such as the subject of the entire article?

by muzz 13y ago
The article is not about funding levels of schools. As the second sentence says, Mr.Kim works in "private, after-school tutoring academies"

Perhaps, but this thread is somewhat off-topic of the article. The "teacher" works for an after school tutoring academy. He makes most of his money selling access to his online video for $4/hr. I don't know of anythin

Sounds like the opposite of trickle-down. It's rich health care systems basically subsidizing equipment for poor ones.

From the article it's not clear what the major drivers are in bringing down the costs. What I've gathered from the piece and another link posted in the comments: * No air conditioning * Buying used scrubs * Buying in bulk, direct
