What would they do for the hours after school finished normally or if work on weekends?
Sounds like a work / life balance problem. Companies will have to be made to change their working practices, allow more remote, flexible working hours and reduced time.
UK is, very, slowly starting to move to a 4 day week for work (reduced hours, not cramming in 4 days x 10 hours). The productivity increases along with recruitment make it worthwhile. My company isn’t there but 35 hours + 50 days holiday so not far.
That would solve the 4 day school day. Also allow for parents to educate their kids for 1/2 a day if needed.
Banking sector regulations require financial reserves that can be used to cover emergencies.
The EU revised the rules recently that meant banks could count the cost of its software as part of its cash reserves, increasing them by € billions each year.
You try and sell your copy of windows 10 and Norton anti virus to make ends meet.
They can also add punitive damages. Didn’t seem to be in this case BUT a meal marketed at children shouldn’t cause scars.
With the coffee case had lots of damages for this. MacDonalds had been warned that they were serving coffee at dangerous temperatures, had 700 complaints but it was cheaper to pay compensation than fix.
They served the coffee at much higher temperatures than other establishments, so normally you’d have 12 seconds to wipe coffee off your skin but with MacDonalds it was 3 seconds, causing 3rd degree burns.
They lied saying it was done as people wanted to drink after driving for a long time but their surveys showed the opposite.
Russia is threatening to attack commercial ships, NATO countries are going to restrict Russian naval moves through their territories to stop ther murder of civilians.
Food impacts behaviour of children. Their behaviour will impact on others in class.
Parents happily ship their kids off to school, and expect teachers to deal with their shitly raised kids, pumped full of crap food and having poor behaviour impact on others. Entitled parents then bitch about how it’s their rights to to do a bad job of raising their property children.
but also added a cup of Pringles as she didn’t consider it to be ‘unhealthy’.
This is for a 3 year old! How stupid is she? This kid is really going to benefit from home schooling, yet another future problem for society to pick up the pieces up.
She literally called me at the time of the appointment to tell me she can't see me. She was so apologetic, but was like "I absolutely can treat you, but I'm not allowed by your insurance". Fuck this country.
Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits different treatment of insured persons on the basis of their sex in connection with pension funds. This was a supreme court ruling, so kind of linked but not quite.
Interestingly, in UK and EU it became illegal to discriminate by sex for car insurance from about 2012, without very careful use of data - which doesn’t happen. It is allowed to be linked on things like jobs though.
