Farmer living in U.S. border town calls upcoming road closure for Canadians unfair
Tensions in the Canada-U.S. relationship are playing out in border towns in both countries. Border Road, which connects Sweet Grass Hills, Mont., and Coutts, Alta., will be closed to Canadians starting in July. Wheat farmer Roger Horgus grew up on the American side. He says the move he will create unnecessary barriers.

"Právo je pro lidi nesrozumintelné. Ombudsman kritizuje stát za chaos" -- "často vytváří situace, v nichž se občan v právním systému ztrácí. Dávno tak podle něj už nemůže platit, že neznalost zákonů neomlouvá." -- "diskriminace starých lidí je nejčastějším způsobem diskriminace u nás" -- "největší úspěch v roli ombudsmana, je to posílení role veřejného ochránce práv jako lidskoprávní instituce. 'Podařilo se mi snad přispět k pochopení, že lidská a občanské práva jsou skutečně pro všechny, a nikoliv jen pro ty, kteří se jich hlasitě domáhají. Snad přispět i k tomu, že rozdělování občanů na menšiny k ničemu dobrému nepovede a že potřebujeme nejen rozmanitost" -- " úřad veřejného ochránce práv dokáže účinně korigovat chyby státní správy. „V 97 procentech případů, ve kterých jsme upozornili úřady na jejich chybné jednání, tak svá nesprávná rozhodnutí napravily." -- "největší neúspěch naopak označil nedostatečnou součinnost některých institucí. Zejména tam, kde byla zjištění úřadu politicky či institucionálně nepohodlná"

Právo je pro lidi nesrozumintelné. Ombudsman kritizuje stát za chaos

Stát podle končícího veřejného ochránce práv Stanislava Křečka často vytváří situace, v nichž se občan v právním systému ztrácí. Dávno tak podle něj už nemůže platit, že neznalost zákonů neomlouvá. Stát má vysvětlovat, ne jen rozdávat pokuty. „Je zcela pochopitelné, že občané neznají přesné znění zákonů, vyhlášek a nařízení a jaksi se vytrácí samozřejmá povinnost […]

When #fairness feels different: #gender , #algorithms and the #futureofwork

I wrote a short blog post for the @fesonline Future of work blog, discussing how women might react different from men to #unfairness at the workplace caused by algorithms in personnel management, either because they are used to unfairness, or because they don’t feel comfortable talking about it. We are currently planning a new study looking deeper into these initial insights.

A quotation from Banksy

   The human race is an unfair and stupid competition. A lot of the runners don’t even get decent sneakers or clean drinking water.
   Some runners are born with a massive head start, every possible help along the way and still the referees seem to be on their side.
   It’s not surprising a lot of people have given up competing altogether and gone to sit in the grandstand, eat junk food and shout abuse.
   What we need in this race is a lot more streakers.

Banksy (b. 1974?) England-based pseudonymous street artist, political activist, film director
