I'd like to think that was accounted for in the analysis. We can compare children infected last year when other strains were dominant, with children infected this year in UK (likely to get the Delta variant).

I'd also like to think that no one publishes garbage studies, but there we are.

There is no doubling here – only random noise.

Anything else is one wolf deciding to eat two lambs.

Of course they are paying for hours. An employer has no right to control your life outside the hours it pays for.

I suspect that you might not have worked in one of these positions. I assure you that it'll be in your contract.

I assure you it isn't.

No. Your employer is simply irrelevant outside work hours. It's as if you had quit.

Did you have a salaried job in programming where that was in your contract?

This isn't about contracts, it's about rights.

Some people seem to look back on the period of time between the fall of the Berlin Wall and 9/11 as a relatively stable period in "the West".

Their point was a bit more subtle, it meant that EU carriers would effectively be penalized relative to non-EU carriers operating in the EU, because other agreements precluded applying the tax to those (non-EU) carriers.

Means they need another tool.

The exception for private jets seems hard to defend though, whether business or pleasure.
