I don't think it's ever compulsory and some workplaces, it's not easy to step out for a longer lunch. Teachers, for example.

But, if you're in the habit of stepping out, it would be a shame to miss out. I think the problem is most people don't do it.

Some workplaces, they get someone to come in, so you don't even need to leave work to get it done.

Yes, kids need to go to GP and I was getting done at the same time. That's why they are now vaccinated and not me as it will be easier for me to get it going forwards.

Oryes, I get that. The way you wrote it, it seemed like the scarcity was why you thought it couldn't be used as a currency reserve. It still is but in much lower amounts.

Sure, but there are also degrees of involvement. I think Netanyahu is even worse than those on his right that are so hateful racist. They are clearly awful. However, he seems to be committing genocide purely to save his kin from political machinations. Just doesn't care about human life one bit.

Exactly, and by all mounting a defence, none are singles out.

Were they shot because they were Jewish, or because they were Israeli? There is a difference, but equating the two as the same thing is part of why Israel is getting away with genocide.

I completely agree that killing them achieves nothing for Palestine. I also think killing them, even if it could is abhorrent as they are not combatants.

Not enough to go around is what makes it valuable, lol.

I suspect when id dollar falls significantly, Bitcoin will collapse. There has been a rise as people look to hedge the dollar but there has not been enough turbulence to really make people feel a pinch, yet. All the pinch has been market internal than international. Tariffs and people offloading dollars may change that but it's a slow car crash.

Saying that, I thought people would exit us dollar and expected Aus dollar to rise, given it is a surrogate for China, economy wise, but a western country.

I've had to go three times to my GP to get it for me and my kids. I'm still unvaccinated and they are vaccinated. Supply issues, fridge breakdown, poor communication. It should be easier.

Speak up Sonny.

I don't disagree that they should have responded when Crimea was invaded, a decade ago, or Georgia 15 or 20 years ago.

I think Ukraine deserved protection based on those agreements, which were made with world interest at heart.

The crux of the matter is that the USA can't be trusted to uphold any agreement with Trump at the helm. The UK is providing assistance but insufficient on their own.

Ukraine is not part of NATO, so there was not the same clear line of action and response.

Whether Russia was bark or bite is irrelevant when you send your own citizens to die in a war, protecting a different country. You need the political will and popular will to do that.

Those red lines Moscow made have incrementally dropped, without escalation outside ukrainez which sucks for Ukraine but is what the other allies would want, short of peace.

Putin is a violent demagogue and the only response is to destabilise him, which means being the war and sanctions to all Russians so that he doesn't have the political will not support to continue.

Appeasing him by allowing Crimea to be annexed will only mean he tries again there, or somewhere else in the future.

Yep, and the voters should have chosen the intelligent candidate. Sometimes people do stupid things because they don’t understand simple things. So, they’ve no chance with complex things.

Do you cost more and do more environmental damage for a worse job than you used to do, for no reason or benefit?

But Ukraine is not part of nato, so although nato members were not happy, they risked a larger scale war by attacking directly. The point of nato is that Russia risks it by doing the opposite. And it only works if they aren’t bluffing.

Zaire? Uzbekistan? Venezuela?

Lol, yes, as a gay man with 2 kids, I'm unable to appreciate the struggles men might have in raising children.

You seem to think we all can make choices without consequences. If women choose not to raise children and instead return to work rather than their husband, they are judged for it. If men do so,.it is seen as normal and expected.

Couple make choices but part of our choices are framed by how society is set up to allow those choices. Would more women choose to take more time with their children if they knew their career and finances would be unaffected? Would men too?

Would more children have the love and care they need if we allowed people to make the choice based on how they think the kids are best raised, rather than from financial pressure?

The crux of the matter is, how society is set up affects these choices, materially and in peer pressure to conform. As it is currently, that means women take more of the childcare burden and face financial consequences for it. Outside of childcarez they face discrimination on the basis that they MAY have children in the future. Assertive women are seen as bitchy. Assertive men are seen as go-getters. Professional women are less likely to find and marry a partner, even if they wish to, as men find it emasculating.. professional men find it easier to find a partner as they are seen as accomplished. Then we have the issue of how much each role is paid and roles offering flexibility to allow child care being paid less.

Basically, the cards are stacked against them but they can choose to fight at every step. Due to the fight at every step, few advance to the upper echelons and the average woman is paid less at all levels. Sometimes for the same work, sometimes as they are overlooked for promotion to higher paying roles. Either sucks.

While the European broadcast agency censors the boos from the crowd and the shouts of free Palestine. I’m pretty sure it was a concerted effort to gain points. I’d be curious to know how many votes it takes in each country to get the points they did. I’d prefer them spending money on propaganda for their image and wasting it on Eurovision votes than buying bombs and bullets.

Isn’t that why the US isn’t a signatory of the ICC? They know they have responsibility for crimes, but don’t want to be held accountable.

Perhaps it’s done out of shame.

I don't know if you're purposely missing the point. Some of the world's wealthiest people are billionaire women. That doesn't mean sexism doesn't exist. Lots of women having high paid jobs doesn't mean there aren't more women than men being paid for the same work, or for similar amounts of effort.

You talk about me wing one sided while thinking women doing fully time child care would have time to study to advance their career? Lol, no.

Children take a large amount of time and resources to raise. The way society is set up, women are expected and obliged to sacrifice time, men are expected to provide resources. In the mens case, this means pressure to advance, through promotion or a higher paid role. For women the pressure is to cut down on work and responsibilities at work to the detriment of their long term career.

You talk about men having to sacrifice a preferred career ro take a better paid one. How do you think it goes for the woman's preferred career while full time caring for kids? The end result is both parties would lose their preferred careers but in the man's case he ends up wealthier.
