The EU Commission in Brussels has shut off airco, but only for the lower floors, where the lower ranks work:
“It’s like feudalism,” a Commission official working on a lower level of the Berlaymont, granted anonymity to speak freely, told POLITICO on Friday, referring to the fact that upper floors housing commissioners got to keep their AC on. A second official agreed it was a “disgrace.” https://t.co/DWUnu3Wz3C
@StormyRa1n@LLFreeSpeak@mattvanswol Even the 2A in profile pic ladies aren't immune to compassionately allowing dire threats to the life of their family go unchecked and unanswered.. it's a natural reflexive instinct they have to protect criminals and they don't even notice it.
@Metafintek@jun_song A couple autonomous drones could turn all that into scrap metal in fractions of a second. Needs to all be underground and then geothermal harvesting for energy
This is true socialism.
In France.
École Primaire La Planette is a primary school in Nîmes, a town in southern France.
A child recently fainted because of the heat (40 deg). Classes were being taught in corridors to get out of the heat.
The parents got together to raise money for five portable air conditioning units. It took them only 3 days to raise the €2,000.
They installed the units.
Great, you think.
Not according to the current municipal team in Nîmes (left-wing coalition led by communist mayor Vincent Bouget). Bouget has told the school to remove the units because “it sets a precedent” and “in some neighbourhoods, parents don’t have the means to act”.
Yes, you read that correctly.
He is objecting on the grounds that it is unfair to other schools and causes inequality.
