Right, because gender equality in employment matters but only for the well-paying, high status jobs. Men can do all the dirty, physically demanding, low status jobs they want. No need for equality there.
Also for minorities in the US, government jobs were the pathway to the middle class for much of the African American community here. Same for many in the Hispanic communities. Not sure how this will playout in Spain.Last edited by Albany Rifles; 08 Mar 23,, 15:06.“Loyalty to country ALWAYS. Loyalty to government, when it deserves it.”

How ’15-minute cities’ became a lockdown conspiracy
(04 min, 40 sec)
To reduce carbon emissions and meet climate goals, politicians in Oxford are attempting to restrict the number of times some vehicles can drive through the city each year while still allowing unlimited access via the City's ring road.
The city also has a long-term plan to be a 15-minute city, where food, medicine, education, and leisure facilities are all within a 15-minute walk or cycle from someone’s front door.
This plan has been conflated with its traffic-restriction trial by conspiracy theories that present the measures as a form of climate lockdown.
Newsnight’s Science Correspondent Kate Lamble reports on how a conspiracy theory about "15-minute cities" became tangled with some people's real concerns over the measures.Originally posted by FOX_faux_news_disruptive_disinformation_&_fear-mongering

Russia and Iran Sign Declaration to Overcome 'Illegal' US Sanctions
(0 min, 20 sec)
Russia and Iran on Tuesday signed a declaration which they said will help overcome "illegal" US sanctions, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Speaking in Moscow Lavrov said it is "an important step in increasing the coordination of efforts by members of the world community to overcome illegal sanctions, which the United States and its allies have made a substitute for diplomacy."
The White House voiced concern that Iran may provide Russia with ballistic missiles for use in its military campaign against Ukraine, a development that likely would be disastrous for the Ukrainian people, a US national security official said.
Last May, the White House said Russia was interested in buying additional advanced attack drones from Iran for use in the Ukraine conflict after it used up most of the 400 drones it had previously purchased from Tehran.
