Any ideas on what employees can do if it turns out that a company cannot support their in-office mandate? My gf's company (EU, with a US parent company) have started mandating in-office days for new contracts. But this is after movin

So, China needs to cut down their emissions to half, to afford the US to continue being the highest per-capita polluter. Sounds about right.

You should realize too that the politicians may have been well aware that the industry is faking. In the grand scheme, this is (yet) an(other) elaborate scam against the public. Politicians outsource the responsibility of implementing polic

It won't be as dramatic as you might expect. People in touristic areas already have side/off-season jobs. E.g. olive cultivation and harvesting is big in the mediterranean during winter. Also, the point is not to abolish AirBnB, b
