And most research universities won't function/exist. More than half of the grant amounts pays for uni's operations (i.e., overhead). At my (public research) uni, state funding only accounts for <11% of its annual budget. The rest comes from endowment, tuition, and of course overhead from grants.

"In most cities, ~ 80% of the crashes occur on 15-20% of roadways. We can make changes to that number. We don’t have to change 100% of our roadways, but we can be strategic & target these places and immediately see benefits in no longer killing our neighbours." -Kelcie Ralph

Good job Spain! Many studies say marriage is the most influential factor for well-being (not just finance) of children and adults alike, but they omit the fact that most govt's policies are biased toward married couples and biased against unmarried individuals, making the latter struggle even more.
