The politicians might save jobs with a new speed bill

The Danish parliament has decided that the owner of a car should pay the speeding ticket regardless of who the driver is. It is actually a good idea because the owner will not be punished with losing points on their driver’s license.

It might save jobs. At my work place we had to fire 3 employees because Microsoft introduced a new version of C5 Dynamic program where all the old adjustments had to be rewritten to the new version in a new language only few programmers can program in for now. It makes it expensive for the firms and almost every firm I have contact tell me the same.

Microsoft have cost us jobs. We have to lay off people so we can afford to use Microsoft's programs in the future

Now we can drive faster. Maybe not so many needs to lose their job in the future due to higher productivity

Child protection services

Among my coworkers I have heard several stories about the Child Protection Service in Denmark. It is not the children they protect. In fact most of the children placed outside their homes live in non-caring foster families. It is all about payment. 3 out 4 foster families don't go to the mandatory courses they have to take every single year. They are still allowed to be foster parents. None care about the children in placements.

It is the same over in the United States. Lazy caseworkers. Children who are skipped around foster families and group homes.

It is bad, really, really bad.
