У меня тут кончается срок действия водительского удостоверения, я подал на продление (не перестаю удивляться, насколько удобная штука — Госуслуги).
Первые права я получил в 2008, и это один из тех случаев, когда не обязательно плохо делать "как все" и "потому что так принято". А я тогда буквально сделал именно это. Я не хотел автомобиль, и был уверен, что в ближайшие 10 лет у меня его не будет (так и случилось). Но у меня было много свободного времени после пар в университете, и я решил пойти отучиться и сдать на права. Именно потому что так принято, и потому что все так делали. В этом почти не было моего собственного решения, а было следование за толпой.
Но в итоге оказалось очень удачно, потому что впоследствии у меня и времени стало сильно меньше, и цены на обучение выросли, и мне самому было бы куда более лениво ходить/ездить в какую-нибудь автошколу. На четвёртом курсе я уже начал активно работать, а дальше события местами развивались странным образом, мне совершенно точно было бы сильно труднее выучиться и сдать.
Так что, действительно, иногда бывает, что нужно просто сделать "как все".
Иронично, что я автомобильной категорией фактически не пользовался все эти годы, а начал пользоваться только в тот год, когда пришёл срок замены. Вполне может быть, что через 10-20 лет я буду пользоваться результатом какого-то решения, принятого сегодня.

Global Central Banks Booed Trump for His Threats Against Powell
Global central banks have issued an extraordinary joint statement offering “full solidarity” to the US Federal Reserve chair, Jerome Powell, in the face of the latest threat to his independence from Donald Trump’s White House.
“The independence of central banks is a cornerstone of price, financial and economic stability in the interest of the citizens that we serve. It is therefore critical to preserve that independence, with full respect for the rule of law and democratic accountability,” the statement said.
It was signed by nine central bank governors including the Bank of England governor, Andrew Bailey, and the chair of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde.
It was coordinated by the Basel-based Bank for International Settlements, which added its chair and general manager to the signatories.
Other signatories to the unprecedented statement include the central bank governors of Australia, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, Brazil, South Korea and Canada. More names are expected to be added later on Tuesday.
They pay testament to Powell’s “integrity” and “unwavering commitment to the public interest”, calling him a “respected colleague who is held in the highest regard by all who have worked with him”.
Trump has repeatedly criticised Powell, whom he appointed in 2018, for failing to cut interest rates fast enough.
But the clash between the two men took a dramatic turn earlier this week when Powell issued a strongly worded video statement, saying he was being prosecuted by the US Department of Justice.
He said he had been singled out because the Fed’s policymaking board had set interest rates “based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president”.
Trump has moved to distance himself from the investigation, however, claiming he was unaware of it. “I don’t know anything about it,” he told NBC News.
Powell is due to step down as chair of the Fed board in May, and Trump is expected to announce his successor in the coming weeks.
The former Fed chairs Alan Greenspan, Ben Bernanke and Janet Yellen had already condemned the threat to Powell on Monday, saying the move could have “highly negative consequences”.
“This is how monetary policy is made in emerging markets with weak institutions, with highly negative consequences for inflation and the functioning of their economies more broadly,” their statement said.
