France: Bosses are banned from emailing staff after 6 p.m.

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFirst exhibit, from France: bosses are banned from emailing staff after six p.m.

2. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal. Once the inbox sleeps, nobody is watching the machines. French labour law takes sleeping seriously.

3. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorInternet. Per Silicon Republic, the six p.m. time was made up, garbled from union talks in twenty fourteen.

4. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA twenty sixteen law does require companies to set right to disconnect rules, but it names no cut-off hour.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorMade up?

6. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorMade up, Judge. Like your wig.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSecond exhibit, from Germany: running out of fuel on the autobahn can get you fined.

8. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorInternet. Nobody fines a man for being out of hope. That would be the final stage, and we are not there yet.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal.

10. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorStopping on the autobahn is unlawful except in emergencies, and running out of fuel counts as avoidable. There are petrol stations about every fifty kilometres.

11. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSo the road itself has lost patience with us.

12. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFinal exhibit, from Greece: cheese cannot be sold as feta unless it is Greek.

13. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReal, and that's the horror. First cheese gets borders, then the borders get cheese, and by the weekend the cheddar is armed.

14. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorReal, since two thousand two in the EU, per Wikipedia.

15. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorFeta must come from mainland Greece or Lesbos, made from sheep milk with up to thirty percent goat milk.

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorGoat milk. Allowed.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorUp to thirty percent. That is the legal limit, nothing more.

18. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRight. Three laws, and one thing is clear: this court is an internet myth. Case dismissed, civilization with it.

19. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe court is real, Judge. It has been sitting for years, and it is not improving.
