when we switched schools, the issue is running cost.
I am not sure if anything other than MERV filter on the school HVAC is not paid by teachers themselves.
Bottom line: done that, but not sure if it was a good idea. Because teacher salaries…

Patchworked ones are probably too loud for a classroom.
But there are models on the market which are inexpensive, not loud and where replacement filters are not horribly expensive.
I bought 3-4 of them for my son’s previous school.
But, and although I made sure there was a 2y supply of filters

They should demand removal of algorithmic amplification, not only for X, but for all of them.
Invisible and impossible to prove manipulation of public opinion by deranged private party, under influence of another country.
How is that reasonable setup for EU?

They should use the opportunity to shut it down.
Now, X is just an AI powered propaganda machine. Letting it be in EU is just going to amplify shift to the right (or: wherever Musk chooses).
Either non-moderated feed content or ban. Let’s not pretend this is about free speech.

cities. Cities can’t solve a state housing crisis or pay any group of employees 3x as there is no budget.
Ergo, cities do the right thing here.
If I would change anything, I would let teachers buy it with a rent to buy model.

They pay teachers decently, compared to teacher salaries elsewhere.
The housing cost is out of whack even for two tech jobs in a household as one is competing with people loaded with tech stocks. No salary-only can compete there.
Mind you, the housing in question here is built and paid for by

Just documenting the right gained by birth is not an application.
With an US birth certificate I am not sure if one needs to ‘apply’, but in any case that is not the process Austrian law is after.
Not a legal advice obviously, but I was told the same by an immigration lawyer in Austria.

reapplied for Turkish citizenship and stripped them of Austrian one now without even a visa, those people had to leave the country.
So they thought, let’s catch them early and came with the time of application rule.
It’s all just racism and populism. No Austrian interests here.

after naturalization give up Turkish citizenship as required. Few years later, reapply for Turkish citizenship without notifying the Austrian authorities.
So, at the time the populist Austrian government wanted to kick those people out and saw an opportunity. They got the list of people who

Correct. As long as one does not *apply*. Getting dual is very hard though.
Logic is as following:
Austria imported a lot of unqualified labor in the 70’s, mostly from Turkey.
After 10y in country, those people were eligible for Austrian citizenship. So what they did is, apply for Austrian,

That is an effort to stop immigrants applying for US citizenship as many go back for retirement.
Austria did the same years ago, fueled by populism and in order to get rid of Turkish immigrants who had dual citizenship.
It is the most restrictive citizenship law in EU, with stupid consequences:
