In Germany a YouTuber called Rezo made a video before the election in which he explained with facts and sources how the politics until now and mainly the party which runs the country right now (CDU/CSU - right wing, Christian Democrats) are blocking new laws regarding climate change etc. He basically told everyone to not vote for the major two big parties and the new ultra right party (AFD - they say climate change is not real. The Video was seen over 4. 5 million times and over 70 YouTubers released another video where they asked their viewers not to vote for these parties. Now the new main candidate from the CDU talked about, that this kind of public denunciation and opinion-making should be regulated. She said something like what would happen if major newspapers would write something similar - that would be influencing. We need to talk about that the rules for traditional media should also be valid for digital media. It is a big topic right now here in GER. Also I am not happy with the outcome of the election as overall the right movement and parties are more powerful now. Yes, the Green Party has won also but the outcome is still heavily influenced by people over 60 (because there are more of them) and most of them do not care about climate change or just dont get it. We will be fcked in 10-15 years yall. Germany is not fullfilling their climate goals, we block laws in the EU to change to renewable energies. We blew it. It like all the CO2 into the atmosphere. Sry about autocorrect typos and the rant but meh. Also: why where the Brits allowed to vote anyway?

An employer should be capable and pay their employees or those that work for their enterprise/them. Period. Whether it's moral/ethical values, simply just being aware of others' living situations, or the fact that successful businesses do have money to spare I think there's more reasons in favor of dwindling the amount of intern positions. Generally, I think most industries have taken advantage of newer individuals wanting access and having little to no real way of entering besides internships. The legality of businesses often is skimmed by larger corporations due to their desire to make more, but it's at the expense of workers. Businesses know that if they're employee is unaware of their rights or general law that they can manipulate their employee. Jake Paul's offer sounds more legitimate and the Paul's operate their businesses (separate from their personalities) from the outside pretty standardly. So I do think that position would fair okay, if you can stand them as people. As for Tana's offer absolutely a terrible offer. Must be free all the time or whatever? No. Makeup artists do not have the luxury to be on call. Artistic industries do not follow standard business protocol. Unless, Tana is that artist's main and only client I do not see that being feasible in a practical-transportation sense. And as for practical-living, that individual being paid promo can forget about paying for any life expense.

In Brussels I realised that a lot of people do know what the EU is. unfortunately from what I've been reading and been told and have seen throughout Europe is that the majority have very little knowledge on what the EU is. This is a major concern in my opinion, as how can someone vote but not know exactly what the vote means. it is the fault in our democracy. The EU should really focus on educating the younger generations to be informed on what the EU is, what it does and how it serves the individual. Both the right and the left (especially in Britain) have misinterpreted what the EU does and what it is. This is not a good form of democracy. I'm not saying that the majority of people who did vote dont know the effect of what they are voting for. but it does seem to be the case with nations that have a very high anti-EU population, that they vote against the EU either because they do not know the point of the EU or that they have been misinformed on EU matters. Also what is important to mention to the country's that are anti-EU is that in this globalized world it is more important than ever to commit to unity. interesting topic of discussion and as I am a student in Brussels I am overloaded with analysing Brexit and the EU. so it'll be interesting to see what happens next concerning the EU

Hey Phil I am German and I voted Green, as I have every year since I was eligible to vote. As you mentioned, the Green party was really popular in Germany this election. The party received the second highest amount of votes across Germany, the center right only barely maintaining the majority. In many of the big German cities, the Green party even had the majority of the votes. A big reason why the Green party is becoming more popular is because their agenda is focused on topics such as climate change and global warming, as well as strengthening bonds within the EU. Their agenda is young and progressive. The major parties have disappointed young voters by not focusing on these issues strongly enough. The big parties have now understood where they went wrong and I expect them to participate more heavily in tackling these problems in an attempt to maintain relevance. Im very happy that the millennial and Gen Z generation are affecting this kind of change. It shows that your vote does count in influencing your future. Im a bit worried about the right wing votes that have risen, albeit only by 3 percent. I hope that nationalism will not rise, although I do expect an even stronger split between left and right.

Whilst the Brexit party was the majority in the UK overall, it's worth mentioning that Scotland voted in a completely different way to England and Wales (with SNP, a party strongly against Brexit and strongly for Scottish independence, winning vast majority in 30/32 local authority areas, reaffirming that we are a different country of our own that is strongly against Brexit (this was originally affirmed by the initial Brexit result in which every single local authority area in Scotland voted majority to remain in the EU, and is now reaffirmed by these recent EU election results in the UK. Scotland has been ignored and is being dragged out of the EU against our will. Scottish Members of Parliament have proposed compromise after comprise to the UK government and yet we are still flat out ignored. These recent EU elections are important as they show for a second time that Scotland strongly wants to remain in the EU. Despite being a country of our own we are not yet sovereign as we are unfortunately still part of the UK. (Due to many broken promises and threats from the UK government that coerced the majority to vote 'No' to Scottish independence back in 2014)

It's interesting to see the internship issue from different fields. I originally went to school for Fine Art (I got my degree and a job so i'm good) and you were kind of expected to take an unpaid internship while you were in school. If you didn't, it was really difficult to get any jobs in the art community here. Now, i'm returning to school for Computer Science and all the internships local to me are paid (and start at 15/hr, and i've been told not to take unpaid internships in this field because of the amount of paid ones available. This practice of unpaid internships really sucks because if you don't have a support system for your finances, then what do you do? I'm fortunate enough to have people who can help me, but I know many others who just cannot take unpaid internships because it means giving up income in hopes of gaining experience for a future job. I do not like the idea of unpaid internships whatsoever. I know of companies using it as a way to get lower level work done without actually spending money on more employees.

When we had apprenticeship as a regular part of our economy, then internships made sense. Every position now is an internship when talking skilled labor, as it has a three to six month ramp up to get someone trained in a specific business. Gone are the days of interns becoming professionals in the same company, or internships without being fully qualified for the hired position. Instead, internships are tax breaks for companies that do not need them to stay out of the red, a tax burden on a community that never realizes any benefit, and a terrible work experience for the interns. They don't get to learn the business they intern for usually, but rather they get to play gofer while everyone around them does the work they want to learn. Or they are relied on to do work they don't understand, and everyone around them is too busy trying to do their own job to train the intern. So bravo Phil, hiring someone who you think works with the rest of your team is best way to get people skills and synergize with your community.

Unpaid internship is always a load of horse shit and the only acceptable form of it should be Co-op programs that are joint programs between companies/work places and schools. Any internship program fully operated by a company alone is always prone to corruption and exploitation by that company because it is literally free labor. For people who need exposure or experience in an industry, that is what entry level jobs are supposed to be for. Entry level jobs requiring a minimum number of years as experience ARE NOT ENTRY LEVEL and should not be posted as such. Entry level jobs are supposed to be low paying because you're paying for someone who is inexperienced that you will train yourself. You get what you pay for. If you're paying a lot, then you'll get the experienced professional. If you're paying shit, then you'll get entry level. If you're not paying, then don't be surprised if they don't show up, can't meet you on the days you need them, or just quits whenever they want without notice.

the only time im down for unpaid internships is via organizations that allow high school/young college students to get short, unpaid internships in workplaces they may otherwise have trouble getting exposure to (i. e. i spent a few weeks in a corporate law office last summer, a position that as a high school student i would never have been able to actually work in for pay. basically, internships that are more like shadowing professionals for experience and insight rather than really performing valuable work for the company. i think unpaid internships that are more traditional internships in which the intern is simply working for free are iffy at best. obviously its up to the person applying whether they want to work for free or not, but the problem is unpaid internships over-saturating the job market so that finding real paid jobs is difficult (such as what we see often in the art world. basically, shadowing opportunities = good, free labor = not so good.
