Another thing that should've been banned years ago

This! Animal cruelty, no other way to see it 😢

I went to test drive a car recently and the dealership wanted a £500 deposit. It was for the insurance (rather than pay it in event of a crash) but they said it could go towards the car if I liked it. I asked them if I don't like it how long would it be before I got the money back. They told me at least 7 working days. Politely declined and walked out.

Or to close water : having to walk daily more than 10 km to get water from a well

That's just criminal

New Zealand is currently working on a bill to make 'conversion therapy' a criminal offence. Hopefully other countries will do so as well.

It is not. It is cheap or free in every country but one. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/cost-of-insulin-by-country

Influencers worship is worse to me :(

Netherlands: You must be able to cancel a subscription in the same way you started it and cancelling must be just as simple as starting. So 1 click to start, means 1 click to cancel.

Once upon a time, a lot of items came packaged in glass, paper, or metal containers. Many of the glass containers were collected, washed, and refilled by the manufacturers. People found uses for containers that could not be returned or recycled. Then there were concerns about the environment...yes the environment. Plastic bags were a response to cutting trees for paper. As plastic was light, disposable, and cost less to ship (no return or deposit), manufacturers switched to these for cost and convenience. The idea was it saved trees, fuel costs of shipping, and emissions. The extent of the damage the overuse of plastic causes was not known. Now we are back where we started with environmental impact.

We have nothing like this thankfully. Food delivery people get proper salary, no need for tips.

Welcome to America when you're in debt from birth....

School lunch debt? you f*****g what ? is there anything the U.S wont corrupt and commercialise ?

Yet another reason I don't mind paying my "socialist" nordic taxes.

Our taxes pay for school lunches

In my country its free for the people living with less. And very affordable for everyone else. Public school its around 3 euros for the full meal

THIS one I can fully get behind! We pay a lot of taxes for education and this could be part of it. Yes, it would be a huge cost. However, some kids are so below the poverty line that school lunch and breakfast might be the only meal they get. My county does have free breakfast for all. Lunch, I'm not really sure. There are assistance programs, of course, to cover "free" lunch. I just feel it could be covered altogether. Heck, they could make it part of "home-ec" and kids could learn to cook as well as how to balance meals properly.

As a child, I went home to lunch and went back to school. Why is this not the norm?

We take our own food to school in Australia

I am not sure how long this will last, but the school district that we live in is providing free lunches for the next school year for all kids. I think the leaders here got a stark dose of reality during the pandemic. They learned that there are a lot of kids who only get that one meal at school. I live in Southern California btw.

Wtf??

The parents should be making the lunches for their own kids ! It is not the schools responsibility to look after children's nutrition!

If you can't afford to feed your kids why did you have kids?

At least in California, a lot of homelessness is caused by drug addiction that caused a downward spiral in these peoples lives to the point of where the addiction was so strong, they lost everything to get their fixes. Need more drug rehab programs among many, many other programs to help curve homelessness.

Good grief, most of ours is online. We can book online, even have online appointments (face to face), renew prescriptions etc. All in a portal called My Health connected to your own medical centre.

I don't answer calls from numbers I don't know for this reason, and now there's been a wave of scam phone calls in the last few years.

Seriously? We used to get a discount for doing this until someone decided it wasn't fair on those people who can't do things online.

I have never heard of this. Maybe its an America thing...

But it does not exist. Well only in some underdeveloped countries.

The worst are middle managers who expect you to give 100% of your time to your job.

Side effects include death. BUY IT NOW!!!

Seriously, why do the potato cameras even exist anymore?

No, they are a scam.

For some reason my hotmail account I've had since 2006 is now very bad at filtering spam, it's annoying since I still use the account regularly

Most ethnicity forms here don't have me as any option aside from "Other". Sometimes not even that and then make it required. Ew. Why do you need to know that I am Malay, company not allowed to discriminate based on ethnicity?

We used to have them. But that was back in the 1950's and 1960's. And they didn't try to sell idiotic stuff like lawn care.

Carbon paper! Can you still even buy that?

I have noticed that since wearing masks I am breaking out a lot more, especially around my mouth and chin.

Netherlands: Log in into a secure site. Check what the government has already filled out. Let the program figure out in which way you get the biggest refund, electronically sign the tax form and submit it. Takes 15 minutes, if you're a slow reader. Wait a few months to get your refund in your bank account. No charges, no fees.

The credit card companies charge them what amounts to ten cents on each gallon, or 2.5 percent.

Again a matter of watching what you're buying. My old laserprinter just makes a humming noise that's barely noticeable while printing .

Yep...most can around here have some kind of vapor lock that makes it near impossible to use without spilling. Kinda defeats the purpose. On a side note, love the picture. I love my Jeep Cherokee.

How does this even work? Don‘t you have online banking?
