Yvette Tanamal and A. Muh. Ibnu Aqil (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Jakarta   ● Sat, January 28 2023 The European Green Deal remained among the European Union’s top priorities in both the 27-nation bloc’s 2023 ASEAN and Indonesia strategy, two senior EU diplomats told a press conference in Jakarta on Tuesday. While its environmental stance on trade had caused heated rifts with some of the largest ASEAN member states, Brussels would ensure that other areas of cooperation could continue undisturbed, they added. EU Ambassador to Indonesia Vincent Piket emphasized that finalizing the Indonesia-EU Comprehensive Trade Agreement (IEU-CEPA) by the end of the year would be the dominant concern of the bloc’s negotiators. He added that a total of four negotiation rounds had been scheduled for February, May, July and September. to Read Full Story SUBSCRIBE NOW Starting from IDR 55,500/month Unlimited access to our web and app content e-Post daily digital newspaper … [Read more...] about EU’s green policy remains key priority in ASEAN ties

Toronata Tambun (The Jakarta Post) PREMIUM Jakarta   ● Sat, January 28, 2023 From 2020 to 2022, I met intensively with the country's future leaders studying in its most-prestigious institutes and universities. There is only a “handful” of them: Bright, smart, English as their second language, visionary, full of energy, promising and diligent students. They stand for what the mainstream media depict as "upper-middle income group, highly educated, latte-sipping and [future] white-collar employees". They are in the 10-percent bracket of university graduates to be absorbed into industries. However, to my demise, a very articulate journalist’s work, “Underprivileged millennials: Being young and poor in Jakarta” ( Tehusijarana , 2020) portrays a less-known side of the country's millennials (the most significant part of Indonesia's much-vaunted “demographic bonus”), which very much to the contrary: "only have a high-school level education, work in blue-collar or … [Read more...] about The other face of the younger generation.

CLAYTON, N.C. — For a tidy snapshot of our messy country, you could do worse than North Carolina’s newly redrawn 13th Congressional District, where suburb yields to exurb and fields of tobacco and sweet potatoes somehow hold their ground. I had to drive only 15 miles of it to see two versions of America — and to see them at war. I began in Garner, on the edge of Raleigh, at the Full Bloom coffee shop. The barista had rainbow-colored hair. The menu advertised a vegan bagel sandwich and a “From the Hive” selection of drinks — an orange blossom latte, a lavender blossom latte — made with local honey. Garner is in Wake County, a Democratic stronghold, and I headed south and crossed into Johnston County, a Republican one. I passed lyrically named residential developments (Annandale, Avery Meadows) that had just gone up or were about to rise. I spotted the C3 megachurch (“real hope for real people in a real world”). And then, just beyond it, I saw the signs, a little thicket of them, … [Read more...] about One of America’s Most Seductive States Is Also One of Its Scariest

Piaget Ventus had been working in the New York restaurant industry for several years when her manager informed the staff one day, circa 2015, that they all needed to take a ServSafe course. The employees met at a sister restaurant, where they watched safety videos, took practice tests and had to pass a final exam to get certified. The course cost Ventus $15, for which she was reimbursed, but it consumed about three hours of her day, which she was expected to surrender without pay. As a server, Ventus rarely had to handle food directly. There were runners for that. Nonetheless, she took the course at face value. She figured her managers just wanted to make sure everyone had a firm grasp of food safety basics. But after the New York Times reported this month that the ServSafe program also raises money for the National Restaurant Association, Ventus felt something akin to betrayal. The NRA - occasionally called "the other NRA" - is a multimillion-dollar trade association that lobbies … [Read more...] about Restaurant group uses workers’ cash to lobby against them, advocates say

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 6 WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden announced Jeff Zients as his next White House chief of staff on Friday, tapping an experienced technocrat who headed his administration's response to the COVID-19 pandemic as Biden prepares for a reelection bid while facing an onslaught of investigations from a newly empowered House Republican majority. Zients succeeds Ron Klain, a longtime fixture in Biden’s political orbit who led the White House through its highs — passage of consequential legislation like the massive infrastructure bill and the Democrats’ climate, health care and tax law, as well as dozens of judges confirmed in the first two years — as well as its lows, such as the rocky withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. The transition is the first major personnel change for an administration that has had minimal turnover at its highest ranks and throughout the … [Read more...] about Biden picks Zients as his next White House chief of staff

Outspoken Wetherspoons ' boss Tim Martin says that humans are “built to work” and has vowed he will carry on until he’s over 100. Tim, who is reportedly worth £488million, says he has no intention of retiring. He’s been chairman of Wetherspoons since 1983, but despite massive earnings he refuses to slow down. In 2018, after emergency treatment for a burst appendix, the arch-Brexiteer said he would be “working part time from home for several weeks”.

I’ll probably keep going. (In December) I’ll have been doing it for 40 years, I’d like to do it another 40. That would make me 104." “It might be optimistic," he added, "but that’s my plan. Why not?” Tim, now 67, did concede that he’d prefer to do a “little less” travelling than he does but said he still “likes to get round the pubs”. He had … [Read more...] about Wetherspoons’ boss Tim Martin claims he’ll work until the ripe age of 104
