From the study:

Between 2015 and 2019, following discussions between public sector employers and trade unions, Iceland saw two major public sector trials of a shorter working week for no loss in pay.

The article is unclear, but the introduction on the study says:

I mean… if something is illegal but the penalties are low or enforcement nonexistent then it’s more like a recommendation. Fines become a “cost of doing business”.

Is this fictional? I thought that this was actually true from the Social Union in WWII. Maybe in the battle of Stalingrad?

I think it’s an oversimplification to say that it was never enforced:

I’m learning Chinese now and it seems to have a similar change in pitch as European languages when asking a question. 你说汉语吗？

I joined the Democratic party in 2016 just so that I could vote for Bernie in the primaries. Oh well.

I kind of don’t like this. People are not worth more or less. We should be just as outraged at shooting a homeless immigrant on their way to an appointment for a sex date with a Grindr hookup as with your hypothetical father of 3 on the way home from work.

This is the way.

I thought the same thing. In the Netherlands it’s not allowed to have realistic looking toy weapons. I basically think that’s a good thing.

I highly recommend the Alt Right playbook:

Is that a problem? Is there a special reason these should be replaced?

That’s a good new-ish law for California! I doubt people in most other states are similarly protected.

I have literally never seen one that’s clear about this.
