The New Way We WorkThe workday is poorly designedWe take for granted the standard 40-hour, 5-day workweek, but this structured schedule was implemented to suit a very different reality than most of us work and live in today. In recent years, the 4-day workweek has gained attention. But that kind of restructuring seems to leave many with more logistical questions than answers: What about parents trying to match a school schedule, or sleep-deprived medical workers, or service workers who usually don’t know their scheduling needs in advance? Is there a way to redesign the workday and workweek to accommodate the needs of both employees and businesses—in a...

The Blind Ambition with Jack KellyCongressman Mark Takano: How the U.S. May Be Closer to a Four-Day Workweek Than Ever BeforeThe Honorable Mark Takano of the U.S. House of Representatives
Congressman Mark Takano recently introduced a bill called the Thirty-Two-Hour Workweek Act, which would amend the definition of the workweek in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. If passed into law, it would require overtime pay for anyone who works more than 32 hours in one week, down from the current 40.
Congressman Takano explains why we might have AI, the COVID-19 pandemic and JPMorgan Chase chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon to thank for the U.S. being closer than ever to a four-day workweek.

今夜一杯 福澤喬【國際新聞 DJTALK 】2022.01.26 烏克蘭最新/美批准駐中外交官撤離/緬甸僵局有解/賴清德過境美國1.俄羅斯烏克蘭衝突後續+IMF：俄烏衝突升級 將使全球在更長時間內維持高通膨＋芬蘭瑞典加盟 NATO 討論再起預計美國拜登政府將於美國時間26日就俄羅斯就烏克蘭緊張局勢尋求的歐洲安全框架草案作出書面回應。美國有線電視新聞網報導。預計將包括加強美俄在軍控和風險管理方面的合作。但是會避開俄羅斯要求北大西洋公約組織（NATO）向東擴張的問題。
美國國務卿布林肯21日在與俄羅斯外長謝爾蓋·維克肯會晤後的新聞發布會上表示，他將“下週以書面形式與俄羅斯分享”。書面答復是通過繼續與俄羅斯對話來阻止入侵烏克蘭的外交努力的一部分。
不過，俄方長期以來一直要求以書面形式承諾阻止烏克蘭加入北約和不部署導彈。目前尚不清楚美國的書面回應是否會導致烏克蘭問題的突破。美國有線電視新聞網還表示，有人擔心該文件將被用作將對話僵局的責任推給美國的藉口。在烏克蘭危機中，俄羅斯總統普丁有一個主張就是NATO 必須停止東擴。 不過普丁這個要求卻在歐洲大陸的北端引發芬蘭和瑞典國內對於是否加入北約的辯論。瑞典和芬蘭外長24日在布魯塞爾會見了北約秘書長延斯·斯托爾滕貝格。 同時，芬蘭總統紹利·尼尼斯託與美國和俄羅斯總統進行了磋商。北約當然歡迎瑞典和芬蘭加入，不過如果這兩個北歐國家加入 NATO 就代表他們必須要放棄長期以來堅持的中立政策，即便是目前還沒有加入 NATO 但是他們也已經開始允許北約部隊在危機時期和演習期間通過該領土。如果北約進一步擴張，包括波羅的海沿岸的兩個國家，俄羅斯威脅要採取嚴厲措施。 2021年12月，俄羅斯外交部表示，瑞典和芬蘭加入北約「具有嚴重的軍事和政治後果，需要俄羅斯方面做出充分反應」美國智庫大西洋理事會北歐主任安娜威斯蘭德指出，俄羅斯自身的行為正在促使瑞典和芬蘭考慮俄羅斯不希望看到的結果。
瑞典外交部長林德表示，他對俄羅斯對烏克蘭的意圖和“咄咄逼人的語言”“深表關切”，並強調了與芬蘭與北約進行討論的重要性。瑞典和芬蘭最近加強了相互防務合作。在加入北約問題上，兩國長期以來都被視為符合任何舉措。專家認為，關於加入北約的爭論在芬蘭更為深入。究其原因，瑞典廢除了征兵制，大幅裁減了軍隊，而芬蘭在不放鬆防衛的情況下，保持著龐大的國防開支和大量預備役。

2.美擬批准駐中外交官撤離 中國外交部：令人費解隨著中國在2月北京冬奧會前加強對新型冠狀病毒的應對措施，美國國務院正在考慮是否允許希望離開該國的美國外交官及其家屬撤離。多個消息來源透露。
據兩名知情人士透露，美國大使館24日向美國政府發出了正式出境許可的請求。中國的新冠相關規定包括發燒門診強制住院和與兒童隔離，而美國政府沒有或打算將美國員工排除在此類隔離措施之外，一些工作人員擔心食物短缺。
美國國務院25日在給路透社的一份聲明中表示，美國駐華大使館和總領事的業務將保持不變。任何更改都將基於員工和家人的健康和安全。
我們向中國外交部徵求意見，但尚未得到答复。
據知情人士透露，美國大使館進行的一項內部調查顯示，25%的員工及其家人會選擇盡快離開美國。
這位官員指出，外交官應在家隔離，發熱門診和醫院應自願入住。美國政府本應針對此類規定採取反制措施，但表示並非如此。
另一位消息人士稱，美國大使館官員無法從中國獲得有關美國外交官在疫情期間的待遇的適當聲明。
中國呼籲駐中國外交官遵守與公眾相同的規定。部分外交官免於進入政府指定的隔離酒店，包括自我隔離和入境檢查。

3.英特爾勝訴！歐洲法院駁回12億美元反壟斷罰款判決歐盟委員會2009年因違反歐盟反壟斷法對英特爾實施巨額處罰的今天經過歐盟法院認定無效。它可能會影響歐盟委員會的競爭政策。
2009年，歐盟委員會認定英特爾利用其在市場上的壟斷地位，在2002年至2007年間銷售英特爾生產的個人電腦CPU（中央處理器），損害了公平競爭，決定對其處以 10.6億歐元的罰款。之後英特爾向歐盟法院提出上訴，對委員會的決定不服，2014 年，普通法院發布了支持委員會決定的裁決。英特爾繼續上訴，最高法院在 2017 年同意重審委員會的決定是否合理。
這一裁決對歐盟委員會的舉證設置了很高的障礙，並可能影響未來的競爭政策。歐盟委員會對主導歐洲市場的美國巨頭公司持強硬立場，並對亞馬遜和谷歌等IT相關公司處以巨額罰款，這些公司隸屬於Alphabet。美方對歐盟的立場提出了一些批評，認為歐盟正在支持屬於歐洲產業的誕生，同時希望阻止美國公司的存在感。
近日，歐盟委員會的決定被司法機構推翻。 2020 年，普通法院裁定愛爾蘭政府給予蘋果 130 億歐元的稅收優惠是非法的，並使歐盟委員會對該國額外徵稅的要求無效。 2009 年，由於盧森堡的稅收優惠政策，歐盟委員會宣布對亞馬遜徵收額外稅項的指令無效。

4.緬甸軍方暫緩要求國民民主聯盟解散緬甸軍方表示將暫時推遲將該黨解散到由翁山蘇姬領導的全國民主聯盟（NLD）。 緬甸軍方去年二月拘留包括翁山蘇姬在內的民盟幹部，並表示願意解散該黨。允許在2008年11月大選中大獲全勝的民盟參加未來的選舉，似乎是為了呼籲其在國內外恢復文官統治的積極態度。
緬甸軍方發言人佐敏東表示，要不要解散全國民主聯盟將交給選舉委員會決定，至少在 2023 年 8 月緬甸選舉之前，全國民主聯盟不會被要求解散。 2021 年 5 月由緬甸軍方改組的選舉委員會提出要解散民盟的想法，主要的理由是全國民主聯盟被懷疑在 2020 年 11 月的大選中舞弊。緬甸軍方會從最初的強硬立場轉變到可以通過舉行大選，主要的原因是要緩解美國等國際社會的制裁壓力。同時中國擔也心解散民盟會造成的長期政治不穩定。佐敏東透露，暫時不解散民盟，主要還是來自中國的建議。除了中國之外，柬埔寨首相也是東協主席洪森26日透過網路視訊與緬甸最高指揮官敏昂萊見面。洪森呼籲落實東盟領導人決定的立即停止暴力等五個項目，並表示緬甸軍方應該努力為東協特使訪問創造合適的條件。

5.賴清德過境美國與參眾議員召開線上會議台灣副總統賴清德25日在美國西部洛杉磯訪問中美洲洪都拉斯，與美國參眾兩院議員在線交談。議程是如何應對中國對台灣的壓力越來越大，以及與美國的經貿關係。
這次線上會議有繼續支持台灣的民主黨參議員馬奎（Ed Marquee）提出相關法案，以及去年11月率團訪台的眾議員馬克·高野（Mark Takano），共有17名議員。 ，包括國會議員。出席會議的蔡英文總統的助手蕭碧健向記者解釋說，“參加網上會議的所有成員都關心台灣問題。”他強調，“支持台灣已成為美國國會的共同語言”，其中考慮到中國，這正在增加對台灣的壓力。

กระแสประชาธิปไตยกระแสประชาธิปไตย ไต้หวันได้รับการันตีความเป็นประชาธิปไตย ร่วมประชุมซัมมิตประชาธิปไตยโลก๑. สหรัฐฯ เชิญไต้หวันเข้าร่วมประชุมผู้นำประชาธิปไตยโลก แต่ไม่มีจีนและรัสเซีย
กระทรวงการต่างประเทศ สหรัฐฯ ได้ประกาศรายชื่อผู้นำประชาธิปไตยที่สหรัฐฯ เชิญเข้าร่วมการประชุมผู้นำประชาธิปไตยโลก ซึ่งสหรัฐฯ เป็นเจ้าภาพระหว่างวันที่ 9-10 ธ.ค. 2564 รวมทั้งสิ้น 110 ประเทศ ซึ่งรวมถึงไต้หวัน สหราชอาณาจักร และญี่ปุ่น ในขณะที่ไม่ได้เชิญทั้งจีน รัสเซีย และเวียดนาม ที่เป็นประเทศคอมมิวนิสต์
การเป็นเจ้าภาพจัดการประชุมผู้นำประชาธิปไตยโลกของสหรัฐฯ ในครั้งนี้ เป็นหนึ่งในนโยบายสำคัญของประธานาธิบดีโจ ไบเดน แห่งสหรัฐฯ ซึ่งมีเป้าหมายเพื่อสามัคคีประเทศที่มีอุดมการณ์เดียวกัน จับมือกันต่อต้านการทุจริตคอร์รัปชั่น ความฟอนเฟะและเผด็จการ รวมทั้งส่งเสริมการพัฒนาระบอบประชาธิปไตย
บูมเบิร์กรายงานว่า การที่สหรัฐฯ เชิญไต้หวันเข้าร่วมการประชุมดังกล่าว เป็นการส่งสัญญานสนับสนุนไต้หวันในฐานะหุ้นส่วนสำคัญแห่งความร่วมมือในภูมิภาคนี้ แต่ก็มีความเสี่ยงที่อาจทำให้จีนไม่พอใจได้
รายงานข่าวล่าสุดระบุว่า ในส่วนของไต้หวัน ประธานาธิบดีไช่อิงเหวิน ได้สั่งการให้ถัง ฟ่ง รัฐมนตรีประจำสภาบริหาร ซึ่งดูแลด้านการพัฒนาดิจิทัลในไต้หวัน และนางสาวเซียว เหม่ยฉิน หรือเซียง บีคิม ผู้อำนวยการใหญ่สำนักงานเศรษฐกิจและวัฒนธรรมไทเป ประจำกรุงวอชิงตัน ในฐานะทูตไต้หวันประจำสหรัฐฯ เป็นตัวแทนไต้หวันเข้าร่วมการประชุมครั้งสำคัญนี้

เมื่อค่ำวันที่ 25 พ.ย. ที่ผ่านมา เครื่องบินทหารของสหรัฐฯ ได้ร่อนลงที่สนามบินซงซาน ไทเป อีกครั้ง พร้อมด้วยคณะ ส.ส. ของสหรัฐฯ จำนวน 5 ท่าน ประกอบไปด้วย Mark Takano ในฐานะประธานคณะกรรมาธิการทหารผ่านศึก สภาผู้แทนราษฎร สหรัฐฯ , Elissa Slotkin, Colin Allred, Sara Jacobs จากพรรคเดโมแครต Nancy Mace จากพรรครีพับลิกัน และเจ้าหน้าที่อื่นๆรวมทั้งสิ้น 17 คน เยือนไต้หวัน โดยออกเดินทางจากฐานทัพอากาศสหรัฐฯ ในเกาหลีใต้ หลังจากเสร็จสิ้นภารกิจเยี่ยมเยือนทหารอเมริกันในเกาหลีใต้และญี่ปุ่น ในโอกาสเทศกาลแต๊งส์ กีฟวิ่งเดย์
คณะ ส.ส. สหรัฐฯ คณะนี้ได้เข้าพบประธานาธิบดีไช่อิงเหวิน และระดับสูงในกระทรวงกลาโหมของไต้หวันเพื่อหารือเกี่ยวกับสถานการณ์ช่องแคบไต้หวัน ที่จีนมีการเคลื่อนไหวทางทหารมากขึ้นเป็นลำดับ แลกเปลี่ยนความคิดเห็นเกี่ยวกับความร่วมมือในทุก ๆ มิติกับไต้หวัน ในขณะที่จีนก็มีปฏิกิริยาในลักษณะเดิมคือประท้วงและเรียกร้องให้ ส.ส. สหรัฐฯ ยกเลิกกำหนดการเยือนไต้หวันของพวกเขา

This move also benefits the companies offering the program. It's so simple that it's surprising they haven’t done this before. Companies that show appreciation and take care of their people will have a highly motivated and happier workforce. An energized team will vastly improve results at the company, creating a better atmosphere for both executives and workers.
Additionally, new legislation is being introduced that could mean a shortened workweek for U.S. workers.
