That wouldn’t have helped with today’s issues unless Democrats managed to stay in power. As Trump would just have expanded the court again…

Well they could also use it for trying to get what kind of sources the agency has… That and to be able to lean even more on to the far rights persecution complex…

Though I do hope you are more correct than me here…

Googling about sentencing for assault I found this “A person who uses violence against another shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than two years, a fine not exceeding 5 million won, detention, or a minor fine.”

So in that context 3 years being a 50% increase over the otherwise 2 year maximum seems fair enough to me.

No. It will be called Waterbill.

Technically it does have collective agreements just not with the company I work for.

A union, at least in Sweden, isn’t tied to a place of work so me working somewhere they don’t have a collective agreement isn’t that odd. Now it does mean I don’t get as much out of my membership but I still do gain some things. Like if my employer screws me over the union is there to help me and fight for me in court if need be. There are also some extra protections like if there is a layoff the company will need to negotiate and justify why I, or anyone else in my union, should be the one to loose their job.

Never actually worked at a place with a collective agreement… But then again AFAIK they aren’t that common within software or gamedev…

(Edit: still part of a union though)
