Through the stupidest means possible and devaluing the dollar.

Still dumb.

If someone said “he sure likes wearing pants”, and I said “no, he likes wearing jeans”, that wouldn’t mean jeans aren’t pants, just that jeans are more specific and accurate.

They sure are trying to.

Some highlights:

• Working before 6:30 a.m. or after 11 p.m. when school is scheduled the following day
• Working for more than eight hours in a day when school is scheduled the following day (except on holidays or Sundays)
• Working more than 30 hours in any one week while school is in session (though this can be waived by a parent or school superintendent)
• On any school day, 16- and 17-year-olds who aren’t in a career education program may not be employed during school hours
• Working more than eight hours in a day without a 30-minute break

They explain on their site here.

There is membership/assessed, which goes by each member country’s wealth. There are also voluntary contributions, which comes in a few forms - core, which have no specific requirement on use, strategic donations which have general goals and can be applied to anything in that field/theme, and specified, which go to specific projects or efforts.

There is also a budget portal which details how money is spent.

It is.

Its a shockingly stupid decision. Not surprising considering the administration, but incredibly stupid.

Which other countries can also create if contributions are altered.

Being aware of the how and why of national politics impacting international politics is a good thing. Suggesting otherwise is just putting blinders on.

… Except what a country does or does not do directly impacts the WHOs functions and financial support, so… Kind of important.

There are many contributors, some substantially more than others, and any of them leaving will have an impact on the efficacy of the WHO.

At the same time, they seem set on weakening the EU from the inside.

I don’t know what the better option is personally, this is purely an outside perspective.
