When you consider so many adults can't even do a basic budget then yes the idea of savings has to be taught in my opinion, even if only to emphasize its importance in the face of a never ending onslaught of a culture that demands us to spend.
Who's going to teach them? Schools? LOL. Well, in my household it's the parent me teaching the kid. But yeah, I do think there should be a semester on basic money management taught in public schools. And probably another semester on basic life skills that it seems many parents don't teach or don't even know themselves.

Well. Being quarantined sucks. But do you know what sucks the most? Fascism. First example: Orban getting full powers to "fight Coronavirus". Who is going to strip him from those powers if/when crisis is solved? The nationalist government in Hungary passed a law Monday granting sweeping emergency powers that Prime Minister Viktor Orban says are necessary to fight the coronavirus pandemic.
Those powers include sidelining parliament and giving Orban the power to rule by decree indefinitely. The law would punish those who spread false information about the pandemic with up to five years in prison.
"Changing our lives is now unavoidable," Orban told lawmakers last week. "Everyone has to leave their comfort zone. This law gives the government the power and means to defend Hungary."
During Monday's vote, he said: "When this emergency ends, we will give back all powers, without exception."
But critics insist that Orban is using the pandemic to grab power. "An indefinite and uncontrolled state of emergency cannot guarantee that the basic principles of democracy will be observed," Council of Europe Secretary General Marija Pejcinovic Buric wrote to Orban on March 24.

Mass control smuggled as a required Health Prevention Feature. "We could extend the tracking through apps that have been talked about a lot in the last few weeks, and we could ask for them in these mass situations." Purpose? Understand the risk of a person who must attend the event, in order to evaluate what to do. For example, on the ticket purchased, the words ?The organization reserves the right to deny entry to those who have had risky behavior regarding the virus or dangerous symptoms?.

Adapt or die. Honestly, free market healthcare capacity would be smaller. Free capital would flee from any institution with unoccupied critical care beds for something more profitable. Only a government could waste your money on something as frivolous unused infrastructure.

Chinese propaganda working? And how credible this Italian journalist "Francesca Marino" is in context of Italy politics? Why We, Italians, Are Angry With China – And Want ‘War Damages’Her specialty is South Asia region so she regularly writes against Chinese authority. Pointing out for balanced argument

Adapt or die. If that were the case... Are you sure you would not be outbided in that scenario? I suspect theres more old people able to pay a few tens of millions to save his life than there is available ICU beds + ventilator in the private health sector.

Just pervert. Orwell would turn nuts nowadays.

Seems like what Taiwan did https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2762689Id be very proud to be Taiwanese right now making less than half the income of Western countries like US, UK, Sweden etc at less than half the tax rates of those countries yet still having the infrastructure and legislature to not let people die in such a way. Maybe there is reason to sacrifice one thing for something bigger, if you have the capability of seeing the bigger picture that is. Sad to see such a wonderful old thread filled with communist/socialist dogma.

There's the rub. Indeed the only way for kids to really learn is by the example their own parents set. Unfortunately too many parents set the wrong example. The cycle of abuse continues.
