Probably emotionally neutral strangers. If it were a Hitler or Stalin character results might vary.

Some do it for no economic benefit at all. See serial killers as an example.

No, at least in the case of pharmaceuticals single payer is less expensive. You have more negotiating leverage. In the Dutch system you also do not have CEOs of medical companies having to pay for trophy mistresses, reducing costs even further.

Is what a nursing home costs in the US. Fortunately after paying down all assets Medicaid kicks in. Unfortunately Congress seems poised to slash medicaid. Good luck to all of you out there who may end up taking care of someone with Alzheimer's or dementia. The best you can do is pray for an early death.

If you can find it on the web so can the interviewee. I always try to ask questions where basic learning must be extended to new situation which will NOT be easy to Google up. I am looking for abstract operational thinking and above.

Sounds like a typical college graduate to me....

It is in the nature of bubbles to not exists. The bubble which has substance is not the true bubble.....

Right on. 8 pct interest doubles principle every 9 to 10 years. I challenge you to find a good investment that can out perform that, i.e. not insanely risky and speculative. You would need to fast track your career for 10 to 15 years to make a dent in $100k in principle.

1 year + $10 in loans for a cert followed by hand's on experience and more side class work for certs and degrees is starting to make more and more sense as time goes on.

BS degree + experience in 10 years with much lower debt, or no debt. That makes sense.

Blowing $100K on what is rapidly becoming nothing more than a 4 to 5 years resort stay[1] is getting dumber and dumber.

[1] What else would you call a place with luxo apartments, food courts, landscapers, recreation co-coordinators, fitness centers, swimming pools, entertainment staff, caterers, and nutritionists?

Careful.... OP is trying to auto-darwinate. Don't discourage him...

"A private entity cannot enforce anything upon the populace, nor can they promulgate laws based on their ratings."
Ever read a credit card agreement, insurance contract, or mortgage agreement?

The dual of what you posted above:
"Business has a very limited range of things that they do as well or better than the public at large ... - business action beyond that range invariably becomes incompetent, expensive, dangerous, or worse.", and

"Never give businessgovernment more power than the worst-case scenario you would be willing to live under."

Live free, of either government or corporation shackles, or die.

"the basics of regex, sql, bash, etc. Let alone what ARP is."

never ask a question that can be answered by the web,,,

Same low price! Handy snack size!
