You don’t have to go to Europe for that - Canada has laws on the books for that as well.  It gets cold up here.

Not sure that the threat to teachers rises to the level of “potential death”.

Because now, with the middle class eroded, more people are struggling to afford the house and 2 cars on two salaries, let alone the 2.5 kids.

Ugh.  I’ve never heard the “ladder up” expression - might be a local thing.  But I’m now on my guard.
