Riyad Mansour. A better example would be "who controls Palestinians' birth register and therefore who is legally a Palestinian?" Or "who controls the currency and decides the monetary policy for Palestinians?". Not to mention water, electricity, gas, communications, movement, even whether or not Palestinians get to sleep on any given night.
Yea, slaving away should be purely optional. If you love your job or you love money or you want to keep yourself distracted AND make money at the same time, by all means, knock yourself out and work 60 hour weeks.
It's a failure of the system if people have to work full time to scrape by with the very bare necessities and live in poverty, with all the nasties that come with it. America coined the term "working poor" (obligatory meme so we're on the same page)
Yea, isn't it just "media is capable of influencing public opinion in the United States"? Lots of news about Nazi stuff on twitter so I doubt this law is about protecting the social fabric of the U.S.
Sanders also pointed to other countries that have already made the move toward shortening workweeks. France has a 35-hour workweek and is considering moving to a 32-hour workweek, and Norway and Denmark have workweeks of about 37 hours.
The problem with this comparison is that those countries have socialized healthcare, so healthcare expenditures come from the tax pool. In the U.S., healthcare is privatized so if workers don't get burnout, injuries, diseases from stress etc. that translates to loss of revenue in the healthcare sector (but not for the companies that don't have to pay workers if they're out sick), and many of the decision makers in the U.S. are invested in the healthcare industry so there's an obvious conflict of interest there when it comes to anything that benefits the health and well being of Americans. And the numbers are pretty big when you consider how much more expensive healthcare is in the U.S. than in those above mentioned countries.
Seriously, it took the EU to force Microsoft not to grey out "uninstall Edge". Still there are non-billionaire people who want to eliminate government regulations, it boggles my mind. I mean, besides brainwashed business school bros.
This is such a funny tidbit of information because it allows people who are not very smart to imagine al-Qassam brigades as the secretary at the doctor's office.
One of the vectors of Russian propaganda, which, unfortunately, has firmly stuck in the minds of even many educated Western figures, is about the supposedly strong anti-Semitism of Ukrainians. KIIS has been conducting research on inter-ethnic prejudice for many years, which shows that the attitude towards Jews in Ukrainian society is better than towards most of the other ethnic groups we studied. In December 2021 and January 2023, KIIS conducted surveys for the Embassy of the State of Israel, which also showed a fairly good perception of Israel (in particular, 52% considered Israel a friendly country against only 13% who did not think so[2]). Jewish organizations themselves refute the myths about anti-Semitic Ukrainians, and, for example, the chief rabbi of Ukraine Asman Moshe Reuven is very active in supporting Ukraine to repel Russia.
The choice is in favor of a free democratic world against a world of medieval terror. If the current world events can be considered a clash of civilizations of the free democratic world and an alliance of authoritarian regimes of various stripes, then Ukrainians clearly identify themselves on the side of the first.
