This is mostly an American problem. Here in the EU it's less of an issue. Even here in Spain, where we work 9 to 6 or 9 to 7, is always because, either we have a big break in the middle of something. And regarding kids, I don't have them, but those who do in my company usually take the time off to go, pick then up and get them home or something if the school is nearby. Otherwise they arrange some home delivery or something, as I recall.

What about the respect given to an individual because of its status in society? There are certain people that have a base level of respect because of their seniority, job or role during a period of time.
Those people may or may not show the same amount of respect towards others as is shown to them in general. And I dare say, there will be people willing to defend them even if they are not up to expectations, just because they have that seniority/job/role.
Take for instance:
- Some politicians
- Some celebrities
- Some senior members of an organisation, like CEOs, CTOs, senior managers, etc.
It doesn't make sense because it's some conspiracy theory level bullshit. It would imply that big CEOs or board members either:
- Possess a big percentage of the current real estate properties (and I mean, huge, like 50%)
- Big part of their assets are in real estate (again, more than 30%)
And, that of course, they are all colluding. Meaning, there is a kind of Illuminati kind of society of all the CEOs that get together with pie charts and excels to see how to maximize their profits.
It's a delusion that people with a low grasp of reality are using to cope with the fact that:
- Economy is shit
- There are people that, because of connection and money, are unscathed by the economic shitinnes we live in
- Because the economy is shit, companies are grasping to get out of red numbers
- Because we have had mediocre to sheerly bad managers in almost every industry for most of the last three decades thanks to some economic bonanzas, the only way they see they can improve the margins is by doing stupid things like back to office
I like Hanlon's razor for these cases: Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. I this, I feel, is indeed that.
Exactly! I would add that you can still use "no binario" or "no binaria" in a (somewhat) respectful manner. For instance, you can say "persona no binaria" (non binary person), "comunidad no binaria" (non binary community), because both nouns are feminine, you can use the feminine alteration of "no binario". For masculine I would go with "su género es no binario" (its gender in non binary), since gender is masculine and "su" doesn't imply any gender at all.
Again, not an expert just another fellow native Spanish speaker with a bit of a geekiness about languages.
I was actually just trolling and with low effort. But I appreciate the wall of text. It means I've done it well.
Thanks for the compliments, have a pleasant evening.
Because, in case you didn't realise, we don't think that waging wars, hoarding nukes and "exporting freedom and democracy" is a good international policy nor a wise use of tax payers' money.
But what do I know, right? I just have low crime rates, an affordable university system and don't have to sell my kidney for a ride in an ambulance. All the while having 1 month paid vacation and a minimum salary that allows me to not live in the streets.
Sorry, I'm out of line.
Sorry, I cannot hear you over the sound of my state funded healthcare system and minimum wage over the poverty line.
What you're saying is true. But charging technology is improving too. I'd argue that if you use ultra fast charging stations everywhere, your cars should be charged within 15 minutes to 1 hour. If done wisely, 10 minute charges in every stop might be the difference between not doing a trip vs actually using the vehicle.
Of course, I'm talking taking Spain's infrastructure into account, which is jackshit in this regard.
Samesies. Two different Roman Catholic schools, actually. I'd even go as far as saying that thanks to my second school, is that I'm no longer affiliated (or feel, at least, since except for excommunication, you cannot leave the Church) to Catholicism. Even more so, because my Philosophy teacher and my Catechism teacher were SO good. The first one taught me to think by myself and critically, and the second one to actually question my religion by looking at other religions.
La verdad que muy bien. Sí bien mepa que me lesioné ayer en el GYM, esta semana estuve cuidando a la perrita de mis viejos. Me sirvió para saber que puedo hacerme cargo de otro ser vivo, pero que la responsabilidad me da una paja enorme.
I live in Spain, and in spite of paying a shitton of money in taxes, I can't fathom changing that for a system like the US. Man, my SO is in dialysis, the amount of money we would need to spend for something like this in the US it would put us on the street right away.
Have a big population, season it abundantly with poverty and low social mobility, add a dash of ignorance and low education, et voilà! A magic cauldron where this and other horrific shit happen on a daily basis (if not hourly).
