Thanks. I don't mind reading manuals at all, but is this not a community for asking questions?

I really hope Denmark does the same

My guess is they're used in industrial kitchens when preparing lunch for lots of people. You know, the same people who have 10L of egg-whites in the walk-in cooler. I can't imagine regular people using them, they're definitely not available in shops.

Can we have lower interest rates too?

The thing about grammatical gender is that it doesn't really have much to do with sex or gender identity. In German, for instance, 'mädchen' (girl) is neuter. Gender in French is 98% assigned based on the pronunciation of the three final syllables. In Danish, living things tend to be 'common gender' and inanimate objects tend to be 'neuter'.

It'd be more accurate to call it 'noun classes' than gender.

Ask what game you're going to play and read about the game? Learn the rules in advance?

Sure, they are nicer because we're trying hard to make them nicer, more tolerant, more inclusive, etc. It's definitely a positive.

They are refusing to sign a collective bargaining agreement with the unions representing their Swedish workers.

Within Danish law, yes. This is a so-called 'sympathy conflict' which is legal. The Danish model for the work market is that conflicts are legal until a signed agreement exists with a union.

When a signed agreement (overenskomst) exists, strikes are not legal until it is time to renegotiate the agreement, which happens every 4 years.

This system was put in place in 1899 following a four month lockout of more than half the Danish unionized workforce. In the end, the workers won the right to unionize, and the employers won the right to lead and distribute work under the terms on the specific agreement made with the unions.

As a result, Denmark does not have state mandated minimum wages or really much state meddling in the work market. It's all self organising to a degree.

Edit: Here's a bit in English about the September Compromise in 1899

Only the coolest people will get that reference.

Edit: and you want to make sure your surgeon is cool!

They're the same thing, τέκνον 🙂

I mean, by all accounts Ukraine has a huge issue with corruption. But it's hardly the fault of the president, although it is of course part of his job (and platform) to force this to change.
