Flaky Friend 약속을 잘 안지키는 친구

Dear Annie: My best friend has become impossible to make plans with. She says yes to everything, then cancels at the last minute with a vague excuse. Sometimes she says she is "too tired," other times she says work got crazy, and once she forgot completely until I texted from the restaurant asking if she was on her way. The worst was when I saw on social media that she had gone out with another group the same night she canceled on me because she "needed a quiet night." I know people are busy, an

Underfunded mandates 재원이 뒷받침되지 않는 의무 조항

A health insurance system can survive an aging population. What it cannot survive indefinitely is a government that treats its own funding obligation as optional. 건강보험 제도는 인구 고령화를 극복해낼 수 있다. 그 제도가 끝없이 버텨낼 수 없는 것은 재정 지원 의무를 선택으로 취급하는 정부다. South Korea’s national health insurance system is offering an early warning. In the first quarter, the system recorded a current account deficit of 3.9 trillion won ($2.8 billion), ending five consecutive years of annual surpluses. 한국의 국민건강보험 제도는 이른 경고를 제기한다. 1분

[Lim Woong] Growing old in the age of artificial intelligence

The arrival of artificial intelligence has compressed decades of technological evolution into a handful of years, altering the basic texture of our daily lives. AI is no longer a distant science-fiction trope; it writes, translates, paints, codes, counsels and even mimics human emotion with unsettling fluency. Tasks that once demanded years of work and experience can now be summoned with a few keystrokes. This moment compels us to confront a fundamental question about technology and society. Mar

[Allison Schrager] US tuition fees due a correction

A lot of people used to think about college the way a lot of people now think about protein: good for you in any quantity, and the more the better. How times have changed. Not only is the share of people who see college as a worthwhile investment in decline, but some smaller schools are digging into their endowments to stay afloat. Even popular and established schools like Syracuse are falling short of enrollment goals and facing a budget crisis. It is all leading to speculation that higher educ

1st Korea-Central Asia summit: why this moment matters

When a diplomatic dialogue is elevated from the level of foreign ministers to that of heads of state, it is rarely a matter of protocol alone. Such decisions are typically made when existing mechanisms of cooperation no longer match the scale of emerging challenges. That is precisely why the upcoming inaugural South Korea-Central Asia Summit marks an important milestone in relations between the two sides. The state visit of President of the Republic of Uzbekistan Shavkat Mirziyoyev to Seoul will

Tax resistance 납세 거부

Hwang Hee, a three-term lawmaker from the ruling Democratic Party of Korea, on Friday proposed a plan to convert scrapped buses into housing for young people. 여당인 민주당의 3선 국회의원인 황희는 금요일 폐기되는 버스를 청년들을 위한 주택으로 활용하자는 의견을 냈다. This is nothing short of an absurd idea and an insult to young people struggling to find a home. 황당한 아이디어이자 집을 구하고자 분투하고 있는 젊은이들에 대한 모욕에 다름없다. The proposal sparked an angry backlash among young people and on online communities, with critics denouncing it as an out-of-touch idea
