Kevin O'Leary will fire you if you don't answer your phone off the clock
This is exactly why we need unions. Just like not having weekends off, it's normal until it isn't.

Which country offers the best life-work balance?
How is work-life balance measured? Is this self-reported data? What does the percentage mean?
From their website:
""" Life-work balance is an evolving definition, describing how we juggle our personal lives alongside the demands of our careers. Remote has coined the term to describe the increasing trend of people putting life first and work second.
Strong life-work balance extends beyond the ability to work from home. Measuring life-work balance with accuracy considers a number of the most important impacting factors ranging from payment rate to inclusivity. Putting Europe to the test, we conducted an index data analysis to reveal the top countries to live and work across the old continent. Would you consider a move abroad in search of a greater balance between your personal life and career?
The European Life-Work Balance Index assesses focuses on the countries situated in Europe, ranking the quality of life-work balance across each nation. The index considers a variety of vital factors including:
Healthcare
Minimum wage
Maternity leave
Statutory annual leave
Sick pay
Overall happiness levels
Average working hours
LGBTQ+ inclusivity
"""
Kind of arbitrary set of data to be calling a work life balance index, but what do I know...

The official Israel account on X asserting that Palestinian civilians are not innocent
Reply in thread
You'd best be willing to extend that logic to all Israelis then, as the crimes of "settlers" and others Israeli civilians against Palestinians are very well documented.
But we're just starting with a conclusion here, aren't we?

I don't think that's true, unless someone wants to find a better source. But the bible passages listed on Wikipedia are pretty clearly about food.

Is there a historical precedent or tv series that mirrors whats going on in the States right now? Besides Handmaids Tale?

They found the smartest person in the world and listened to them to fix their problems... Not at all accurate.

Would you consider Wild Wild West to be a Weird West movie?
Wait, you wouldn't call a giant robotic spider Sci-fi just because it's powered by steam? What about the concealed, man-sized robotic spider legs? Or the semi-sentient flying death saws? Or all the myriad old-timey James Bond-esque gadgets?
I haven't looked in detail at all the other movies you've included, but WWW is definitely a western and definitely weird AF. It's also possibly my (quite inexplicably and unironically) favourite movie.

The worst is when they install bike infrastructure that will just randomly end and dump you onto a busy street, and then complain no one is using the fancy new bike lanes...

What is the best style electrical outlet?
The Brits have undoubtedly the best outlets from a safety perspective, despite their size. North American outlets are garbage by basically all measures. European plugs are weirdly round, but very functional.

Again, I really hope you can see how your logic works in reverse. In so far as all Palestinians are guilty, all Israelis are as well.
Propaganda can really cook a brain, eh?
From my perspective, we've got two rogue terrorist organizations murdering civilians en mass - one much more well funded and more effective at slaughter than the other.

The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence.
I know nothing about you or your situation, but food allergies can really mess up your life, and they're often overlooked (speaking from experience).

Or knows it's an easy way to make $100, so then secures a loan to cage a bear, and plans to hire a team to eat the shit instead for $75, all while pocketing the surplus $25 and skimming from the bear's feed - finally defaulting on the original loan.

Explaining the inflation rate
Reply in thread
Some inflation is a good thing. It keeps money moving, which is absolutely crucial to the system as it is. Wages do need to rise with or outpace it, though.
