True. But even better: What you pay in taxes even is even less related to me.

Why should Rogan and Musk be concerned about a law in Scotland? I can't be botheres to look up if Rowling lives in Scotland, but she's at least on the same island.At the minimum Rogan and Musk should mind their own business. As a German I also don't judge US gub laws, for example. None of my business.

Why? Cause shops are open on sunday? Having no workers rights makes that a lot easier

Yes. Shops being closed on Sundays is a major PITA. I have 2 days off a week. So I have to buy groceries in overcrowded shops in the evening or in overcrowded shops on Saturdays. Or I drive across the border and buy in Luxemburg, on Sundays. So the VAT I am creating stays in another country. Which is just plain stupid.

Also: workers' rights and shops being open on Sundays aren't mutually exclusive.

I do have 2 monitors. But I have an opaque side panel. Case closed. Pun intended.
