Not an expert on GDPR but can't imagine privacy strict EU agreeing to this.
US shutting down visa waiver for EU would be dumb as the Consulates are already swamped and absolutely cannot handle that level of B1/B2 visa applications (the wait times are already 1 year+ around the world).
This would hurt US travel and tourism.
Europeans aren't going to riot if they lose visa waiver to US.
So American business suffers, EU looks strong standing up for privacy against the bully, and EU can still offer visa waiver to inbound Americans. Call their bluff.
you're an ass. my child is a toddler. they need to be exploring and interacting with other children, in person, playing, learning and receiving stimuli, not locked at home staring at screens.
Sounds to me they likely don't have children. Even one week at home for my kid is damaging let alone a year. The kids weren't spreading covid to teachers. Teachers could have worn respirators and been fine.
Governments should have kept covid out but harming children in this way to make up for disastrous decisions and behaviours of adults is unacceptable.
We check in with a govt app and QR codes in NSW and all of Australia does this and venues confirm before letting you in. It's integrated into the Service NSW app so I don't need a separate one. Same app where my digital drivers licence is. No paper. In fact I don't carry a wallet here anymore because public transport is with NFC - Apple pay.
We had a 5% decline in suicide this year in Sydney. Although it wasn’t a very hard or long lockdown. The hypothesis is that increased welfare payments may be the reason but personally I believe the slow down/pause to what was a hectic pace of life, and being at home with family more contributed.
I keep saying this about the silly island argument. It's not like the virus is coming into the US via Mexico and Canada. And domestic travel was halted with state border closures. The key is slowing movement. It's been perplexing watching Americans proudly travel and holiday, even internationally, during all this.
It's probably not the office people dislike, it's the commute. If your office was next door to your house and all your colleagues were there you wouldn't go? You could come back for lunch and go back and forth as needed.
WTF is going on here? This man was followed into his condo by a man dressed in a black suit and a mask carrying an electric saw. That man killed him and was in the process of cutting his body into parts. Is this a random serial killer or some sort of hit organized against him? Disgruntled investor? I think his Nigeria motorcycle sharing startup was not doing well during COVID, but what is the motive behind someone hiring a professional to have him killed?
edit - looks like his startup Picap in Colombia was just closed down by regulators in May. Maybe the wrong person wanted his money back and wasn't getting it.
probably means "someone I would be unlikely to meet via my personal circles, but likely someone I'd encounter at work, and then develop a friendship with, both within and outside the workplace."
