1) On average, a university education in the US (public school) is significantly cheaper (7k pounds) than in the UK (9k pounds).
2) A US education can be significantly cheaper than even that by utilizing a 2 year community college followed by 2 years in a 4 year college.
3) Student loans provided by the government can cause college costs to increase significantly. This is especially true if those loans are non bankruptable and there is no risk for (non-government entities) to provide them.
4) The US spends a significantly larger proportion of its GDP than any European country (or any country) on higher education (and than most countries on elementary education).
My first question: given #1 and #2, and #4 why doesn't the UK value education as much as the US (given the commonly held belief that the cheaper the tuition in a country is, the more that country "values" education)?
My second question: why doesn't any other country in the world value higher education as as much as the US does (given the reasonable argument that spending more on something shows the value we hold in that thing).
I'm still programming and I think the education that I experienced would be great for anyone just starting out. It was extremely rigorous and challenging. We learned theory, practice and, most of all, how to solve problems.
Maybe things have changed?
This assumes a natural disaster that has effected the entire area. If your home (and only your home) burns down, you are going to get a new one built, with the same mortgage.
Now, you will benefit if you decide to build the $400,000 home (which would be stupid not too do). However, the most likely outcome would be for you to have a $400,000 home with a $200,000 mortgage, not a $200,000 home with a $0 morgage. Now, if you are an idiot, you could end up with a $200,000 home with a $200,000 morgage, but I'm guessing you aren't.:)

Can someone explain that to me? **unwilling** to work -- did I read that correctly?
Maybe this is an opportunity to see where we can cut out some of the fat?
How is this protected from bankruptcy?
More money for salaries, less for government.
What would be your perfect program?
Norway could stop extracting and selling hydrocarbons? Who is worse, the user or the drug dealer? Climate conscious my ass.

I hate to be paranoid, but couldn't even something like this be considered anti-competitive by the EU if they wanted more money out of Google?
Where did you hear that?
If by "eliminated" you mean "replaced by robots," I would agree with you.
That works well for Venezuela.
Oh, I forgot:
5. Containment: 50 foot border wall with machine gun turrets on the top to keep the rich in.
How does this sound?
We'll just find pairs of people who will donate the same amount of money to each other! Think about it. Doubling our money!!! ...wait, what?

actual news for nerds!
The do know how to build a lot of cars, though...
Won't they get fined by the European Union for anti-competitive notch-ism?
Need mod points desperately... :)
Tell us the story again about "Alexa."
How are you going to convince all those yellow, black, and brown people that you are right?
Can't we fix this by just suing and/or taxing someone or something?
