Am I the only one who's really bothered when telecoms claim unlimited data then intentionally implement artificial limits on every aspect of that data?
Out of the millions of property owners in the US who benefit from artificially propped-up real estate prices, you chose to single out this individual why?
I've witnessed dozen of people try and spectacularly fail at teaching their own language.
I'm not saying it's the bank cartel, but it's the bank cartel.
They are of course not the fastest way to learn. Learning quickly is a secondary or even tertiary goal. If you want to learn something the fastest, you gotta teach yourself or use a tutor.

Nevermind that by merely participating in a marketplace as a service provider or consumer you're providing a social benefit; that benefit's just not as easy to understand and doesn't get you any vanity points.
But if you're on a mission trip carrying a third world orphan in a microloan-built vaccination tent while on the phone with companies asking for food donations, you're just the most selfless person ever - clearly such charity is just an innate part of who you are.
The upvote/downvote forum experiment doesn't work for political topics (which everything has an element of), it just results in censorship of non-status quo opinions.
No, there is no "you" here. Politicians accrued those debts on something else's bill in exchange for legal bribe schemes.
Nobody owes those debts, legally or morally.
The people and the creditors both were trolled by professional hustlers exploiting the public liability and private benefit design features of socialism.
Democratic leaders, who are human and subject to economic incentives, almost inevitably play the game of trading the future earnings of another administration for the benefit of their own administration.
Government leaders have 130+ IQs[1], the populace has 100 if it's lucky. It's relatively trivial for them to craft a spin to consistently leverage these vulnerabilities.

Why isn't this form of volunteering recognized or promoted as such? Are the people who trumpet the benefits of volunteering (often teachers, academic administrators) simply behind the times, or is this simply not the kind of volunteering that these kinds of people themselves enjoy?
I am led to believe that it's not just that they're behind the times, but that it can be explained by a personality preference. After all, publishing research papers that provide a public benefit has been around a long time, but this is never mentioned as a form of volunteering.
Is volunteering in the visible social sense simply more tangible and understandable, hence its broader adoption than behind-the-scenes volunteering that can provide a greater benefit? Society's tendency to pressure smart people to undergo visible demonstrations of virtue rather than undertake activities that provide a net greater good has bothered me for a long time.

Using a personal credit card of an employee sounds like an absolute nightmare. I know startups are strapped for cash, but damn.
It's probably not as unusual as it feels
When things like this get talked about outside of their focus spheres, that's when things start getting shut down because the agencies are publicly pressured to do something.
