- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
That was my first reaction. I didn’t find the global average spending number reported by the OP, but according to this page, the 2019 average spending of $15,500 per student (38% higher than OECD average) did consider purchasing power.

Folklore says steaks can easily be converted to cash and that’s why they are more heavily guarded. Not so sure about caviar though.

For one thing, cats can’t handle the level of salt in human diet. So to a human, cat food is very bland. This is also why one shouldn’t feed cat salty human food.

- Comment on How's Iceland's 4-Day Work Week Working? 'Incredibly Well,' Study Says 6 months ago:
Encouraging. However, there seems to be a question missing in the discussion: why aren’t more people taking the reduced hour offerings?
According to the report itself, after the first stage of trial, 86% of the work population started to negotiate reduced hours, of the people surveyed, 51% were offered reduced hours and only 14% took them. It’s an unprecedented large proportion, but still less than one would expect given the benefits. There are other factors preventing people to do so. I hope there will be a follow-up research to find out why.

- Comment on I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website 8 months ago:
Some says that Glassdoor’s business model is to charge companies to remove bad reviews. So how much value can the rating provides is questionable in the first place.
Personally, for a big company, there are always people writing their work experiences in an open platform and it’s likely to be different for each separate group. For small companies, it’s unlikely to find a relevant review, if any, on Glassdoor anyway. I never bothered to use it.
