RAs are generally college kids and frequently those college kids that could use help affording housing. They also generally don’t have much real authority. I’d put them very low on my blame list. However, the administrators of housing, student life, and the overall university absolutely have a lot to answer for.

Exactly what I was thinking of. I wasn’t familiar with the term until that movie. What an insane movie too. Anthony Hopkins plays a white-passing black man? Good job, Hollywood. 🤦♀️

Lots of medicines I’ve encountered are like that. Especially children’s medicines. I guess it’s because the bottles are so small and the dosage info is so long due to all the variations by age and weight (not that this is a good solution—just the reason I suspect they do this). It’s tons of fun peeling the label back on children’s Tylenol in the middle of the night with one hand while holding a sick toddler with the other. And you have to check because they are growing and their dosage may be different from the last time.
Of course it’s not just kids’ meds. I’m sure it’s also great fun for arthritic people to try to peel back the label on their nsaids.
