dzaragozaron Japan's government plans to encourage 4-day workweek, but experts split

It is important to note that this announcement means that employers can opt to work for 4 days a week, with the corresponding reduction in salary.

dzaragozaron Doctors Without Borders doesn't take money from EU anymore

Being close is no excuse in this globalized world. Also to take refugees there is no need to be a first world country. I should have included China in my previous list.

Completely true, but Jordan is not the only Arab country able to help.

dzaragozaron Doctors Without Borders doesn't take money from EU anymore

Why is the EU the only responsible for refugees? Why not other states? Why not Russia, the Gulf states, Japan or the United States? It is getting tiring the bashing against the EU.

The EU is getting refugees at the rate it deems convenient, if some other state is worried about the situation in Syria please take refugees, but please stop labeling the EU as evil.
