I've been offered two jobs. Job A pays a massive salary but requires 60-70 hours a week with only 10 days of vacation. Job B pays a moderate, comfortable living wage, requires exactly 35-40 hours a week, and offers 30 days of paid vacation. Which one is objectively better?

A baker in my city refused to make a wedding cake for a same-sex couple on religious grounds.

Voter turnout in many EU democracies is falling below 50% in some elections. One proposal is compulsory voting with a fine for abstention, as exists in Belgium and Luxembourg.
