Millions of families make this reasoning and spend $30k or more per year and per kid from age 2. Very few of these kids make it to Harvard or other top 4 colleges, maybe 1 will become president.

Sane Western countries have free and decent public education; and parents can't withdraw their future retirement early to fund dreams.

The GP is unclear as to whether the loan happened before or after the friend obtained a job offer. Loaning moving expenses money to someone who just got a high-paying job offer and needs the moving money to start the job does not sound that risky.

A field is more delicate if it needs to be enlarged (into a larger field) for all polynomials with coefficients in the field to have roots. There is rich and intricate structure in the possible successive enlargements.

For the field C of complex numbers, all polynomials already have roots so there is no need to enlarge. In that sense the complex field has much less structure than the smaller ones (Z, Q, R).

Start a jupyterqtconsole and use vim-jupyter.

With vim and the qtconsole side by side you can send lines and selections (or entire cells delimited with #%%) to execute in the qtconsole. Plots appear in the qtconsole.

Since Covid, NYC daycares have uniformly updated their sick policy. Child has fever or one diarrhea, has to wait home 3 days before returning. E.g.: Daycare calls the parents to pick up a sick child on Tuesday midday, child can return next Monday at the earliest.

While it used to just barely make sense to send kids to daycare for parents with 2 kids with each parent earning $120,000, it is now simply impossible unless a parent stops working or both parents have extremely flexible jobs where they can put their professional duties on hold for half a week without notice.

> The loss of arts and social sciences would be a catastrophe for the academic world.

But a blessing for most students who need a job to pay their student debts after graduation. Sacrificing art students by taking their tuition knowing no or too few jobs exist is unacceptable. Keeping social sciences and art departments alive should require a source of money that does not create non-dischargeanle student debts and jobless students.

To avoid confrontation in the 48h window, a good squatter strategy is to target summer or weekend houses that have typically other weekend houses next to it so that neighbours aren't there and won't alert the owner.

Then squatters move in in two steps. First they do a small break in and leave, observing whether someone notices and fixes the first break in. If the first break in goes unnoticed, it is probably safe to move in, change the locks and squat there permanently as nobody will confront them in the 48h window.

If you leave the property unattended and squatters move in, after 48h of them being on the property, you cannot have law enforcement kick them out and have to use the courts for months of proceedings.

Super rich people have the same phone as me. They got the same vaccine as me. The same flue as everyone else can knock them down every winter. On average their kids die with the same frequency and for the same reasons as mine.

Once you get a decent salary utity of money decreases badly.

I don't think name calling the EU as bullies advances anything. It is unsubstantiated and sounds like political speak and click-bait.

The problem of unsustainable debts of EU countries is complex. Debts cannot be fully forgotten as this sets an unsustainable precedent. Full austerity isn't sustainable either. Any reasonable solution will be nuanced.

By the way the same issue will arise soon enough to another EU country or to some US state. Will the US feds be bullies by telling states their debts cannot be forgotten?

> Part of the student debt crisis are families making poor economic choices.

I am not sure families are the ones to blame here. Astronomical tuition and loan interests that cannot be forgotten in bankruptcy is a predatory combo.

In the European countries you mention no student start their professional like with $50k-100k in unforgivable debt.
