You're all assuming the USA, even though the original commenter said euros. That is an important distinction

In the Netherlands, kids cycle to school which is free, medical costs are zero for everyone under 18, and it's common for kids to have bunk beds until secondary school. But I do agree on some of the costs, like food which is very expensive here.

 

Key excerpt is below, but the whole article is worth a read:

On May 16, Russia launched a satellite into low-Earth orbit that the United States assesses is likely a counter-space weapon presumably capable of attacking other satellites in low-Earth orbit," said Robert Wood, the deputy US ambassador to the United Nations. "Russia deployed this new counter-space weapon into the same orbit as a US government satellite."

Kosmos 2576 is flying in the same orbital plane as a National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) spy satellite, meaning it can regularly approach the top-secret US reconnaissance platform. The launch of Kosmos 2576 from Russia's Plesetsk Cosmodrome on a Soyuz rocket was precisely timed to happen when the Earth's rotation brought the launch site underneath the orbital path of the NRO spy satellite, officially designated USA 314.
