RE: Appropriate Escalation - a Response to @beelzael
OK - we agree on a lot more than we disagree on. I think this concludes my contributions to discussions on Paros! Going to move on with a discussion of speedbumps - coming soon!

RE: Appropriate Escalation - a Response to @beelzael
You seem to take as the starting point: “The protesters have blocked all the roads” and then all the injuries and deaths that happen after that are the government's (and…

RE: Appropriate Escalation.
I have some thoughts about this one that are probably too long for a reply. Instead I'll make a separate post of my own!

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
Of course I am big fan of technology in general. There are still lots of people doing great things. But as you suggest there can be downsides...and I will recommend this book if…

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
When I was at M.I.T (1974-1978) it was basically the dawn of the era of calculators. My dad got me an HP 35 my freshman year. (You know what reverse polish notation is?).…

RE: Why Children Must Learn Their Times Tables
It really does truly matter. Tell kids today that the time is "quarter to five" and many won't know what that means. You have to say it is 4:45. And don't get me started on…

I's like to buy you a beer and we can talk about all this. I really do think it is good to have these discussions - but sometimes face to face would be better. Again - I do…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
Agreed that any additional cost to very poor is bad. But subsidies are just an extremely inefficient way to treat the problem. Probably pennies on the dollar spent on the…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
OK - maybe. But for example there was a controversy on our barrio's whatsapp group where somebody said they saw a municipio truck at the Paro with it's ID covered. This would…

RE: Diesel to the fire / Diesel al fuego [ENG/ESP]
Yep - I get it now. You are correct - that's a very nice graph! The other point to keep in mind is that after both large increases the resulting Paros were not an effective…

RE: Diesel to the fire / Diesel al fuego [ENG/ESP]
It was a rise in 2022 - and it was not a peaceful one as we both know. Lasso wanted gas price raised to $2.55 and diesel at $1.90. After all the losses and nationwide protests…

OK - interesting point. I was not aware Noboa promised not to remove the subsidy. Commensurability - I had to look up that word! Thanks for adding to my "average verbal SAT…

RE: Ecuador Paró 2025 - Observations from an expat here.
Yes - of course there are many suspicions about who perhaps is financially backing these protests. Noboa has many enemies including the narco gangs and the illegal mining…
