Don't mean to feel exasperated, but Germans will happily go to Bali for months for a yoga sabbatical but god forbid they're in another tropical paradise for a few weeks to learn job skills for the 21st century. ⬇️ Everything wrong with the European economy, right here:
🇩🇪🇹🇼 German workers do not want to work at Taiwanese firms, "which may require employees to travel to Taiwan for weeks or months of training... Mr. Tu estimated that he needed to hire 20 locals. So far, he said, he does not have a single German employee."

Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
