Perhaps, I'm not very familiar with the EU vaccine passport. I mean, I could always exercise my constitutional right as a citizen to enter into Finland, and give the finger to whatever pansy-ass recommendations they have. That would be easy. But coming back to South East Asia afterwards... That...

First shot of AstraZeneca today. Second one on 30th September. Yeah, they have announced a 16 week interval between two shots in this country. So I guess summer holiday in Finland is off the books, as I don't particularly feel like going through a two-week quarantine again coming back.

Yeah, forget I said anything.

Everybody likes free money, but I believe helicopter money to still be a controversial topic among economists. One should take care with such unorthodox policies.

Thank you, understood.

This is all I ask.

I unironically think such moral rectitude is commendable, in all of the Halforumites who posted personal experiences above. To clarify, I'm not saying people should compromise to the extent of breaking any laws. If I may, I would like to illustrate my concerns with an example or two. Pedro is...

I am not saying laws are beyond scrutiny, though. What I am trying to convey is that I believe laws are the only reliable way to eliminate the influence of personal opinions and incentive structures. Once a law has been passed on a subject, all of the above ceases to be of relevance as long as...

Wanting to make sure we're operating under a common frame of reference, I suppose. As I understand, the particulars of corporate management and culture practices differ across various areas of the globe. I could agree with you in an ethical context, however I'm not sure if this fundamentally...

As I understand, the board of directors of a company is appointed by shareholders, responsible for overseeing business according to their interests. As long as the actions of the management remain within the boundaries of what lawyers can successfully argue in court, then they are guilty of no...

I think we are in agreement over this issue, then. Your description sounds like corporate management made a decision which would further shareholder interest by increasing the short term profits, at least according to information available at the time. This is along the lines I am referring to...

I can understand your concern. As you are a customer service person, I can believe the decision by your company affects your work a great deal. I think one thing that you might want to take into account is that your company is probably not doing this just to annoy their customers. They likely...

We were discussing that very option, were we not? I don't think it is a good idea due to too many job losses and hardship for small enterprises. Seems like others feel differently.

Well, if you look at my previous two posts, I believe you will not find any mention of mine saying that income INequality does not exist. I think it does. As to purchasing power between different income groups, here is an article about real household incomes per quintile. The scale may make it...

Thank you all for your replies. I'll attempt to address your points in this same post. Looking at the discussions on the subject on the interwebs, one might wonder. Sometimes it seems that the majority opinion holds that minimum wage should be sufficient to fund conveniences that essentially...

A multi-billion dollar corporation might be able to eat the cost if necessary. I'm more worried about the small mom-and-pop businesses that do not have such deep pockets, where labour costs usually make up a higher percentage, and who do not have the pricing power to offset such an increase in...

So, for a while, the child was refugeesus?

I am a landlord. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.

Day 6 of my hotel quarantine (the day I arrived was Day 0). I'm staying on a non-smoking floor, you can't leave your room except to get tested, there is no balcony and the windows don't open. So I haven't had a single cigarette since arriving in this country. And, although there is alcohol...
