It seems that they are disparaging people who they believe are trying to force them into an unsafe work environment using limited and questionable data primarily for their own interests - because they don't want to take care of their own shitty children - when contactless teaching mechanisms exist. Hardly seems like a reason to drop your monocle.

You'd need to force me at gunpoint just to be a school teacher during the best of times and during a pandemic I'm going to dive for that gun while you're distracted. I say fair play to them.

As for the lesson that competing interests can play dirty during labor disputes...yes, welcome to society.
you're projecting a demeaning motive on the 'scientists' of Panel 4 without applying the same standard to the Teachers' Union - and the president of the Teachers' Union is on record using "woke" logic to attack Panel 4

Hyphens can get confusing. Generally, we use them with pairs of adjectives used immediately before nouns that are interdependent (otherwise we'd separate with nothing or with a comma depending on usage) like high-flying acrobat, quick-witted gentleman, etc. When these are used after nouns, we typically don't use the hyphens, so you technically aren't wrong not to use them in the given context. I might use them in the same context anyway because of the trigram. The ruling on trigrams isn't uniform.

But with adverbs ending in -ly, using a hyphen would be incorrect (e.g. carefully worded speech, hastily drawn conclusions, closely watched program).

For adverbs not ending in -ly it gets a little hazy. Is it a fast moving river or a fast-moving river? An all powerful god or an all-powerful god? I'd probably go with the latter of each, respectively. The former wouldn't look wrong to me, but if well-done steak or well-known author weren't hyphenated, I would probably think the writer is from Alabama or Mississippi. Iirc the rule says to hyphenate adverb-adjective expressions when the adverb doesn't end in -ly (most adverbs do).

tl;dr - You get a pass....this time.

Edit - the word fast in fast-moving river is used as an adjective, not an adverb.

This is actually pretty interesting. Thanks!

In other news I am now partially Covid-19 vaccinated. Haven't died yet.

Yep, the parents trying to force their kids back to school definitely had no vested interest in getting the schools to open back up.

And the gun metaphor definitely wasn't conceding that the teachers were using the situation to their advantage.

Also, I've just realised I don't actually give a shit about any of this, so I am happy for whatever you say to be the correct answer.

why are there are caution tapes over those items?
What are the lockdown rules? you can only buy certain things?
looks like they can purchase food only...only food and maybe paper products

luxury items are dangerous


like when michigan? banned the sale of seeds early and gardening portions of stores were taped off for "safety".

something like that. Businesses were bitching that some stores could be open because they were selling food and other stuff and the businesses that didnt sell food were forced to be shut down because they couldnt sell clothes for example. So they made those shops that could stay open restrict what the customers can buy - so just food.
Fucking idiotic government praised all the sheep that went to get mandatory tested that how many people participated in them and it was all for fuck all because they have closed down everything anyway

What in the fuck is going in here? During lock down no dvds can be bought?
yes, because the stores that are non essential are closed but those bigger stores like tesco, kaufland, etc. remain open so people can buy food, but they also sell all kinds of other stuff besides food and it wouldnt be fair for the stores that sell only electronics not be able to do business but these bigger ones like tesco still could. So they forbid those stores that sell other things not just food from selling anything but food.

And I will still get my exercise because we play ping pong in our fire station where we have the table
