Skilled labor is economists jargon, so the meaning of it does not match the dictionary definition.

No one is saying there is literally no skill involved in unskilled labor.

Technically skilled as in requiring education (financed by the state), unskilled can learn on the job within days.

But politics has a way with twisting those words into a us/them dichotomy.

You're a VP candidate. Normal things get handled by the city. Does he think CEOs worry about printer paper too?

That is why our local libraries started hosting board game nights. Mixed bag because there are already a bunch of successful board game clubs attracting the more experienced crowd.

So what is going on in Walloon and Swiss French? Is it just the Parisian dialect that is messed up?

Google might not, but it's shareholders want to minimise losses. A voluntary breakup will be better for them.

Sure, but they are different just like France and Poland were different in WWII. Very much on the same side in a fight against expansionism.

The problem lies in the fact that we need to categorise these subjects to write more effective policy. And it doesn't matter what words you use, they always get these connotations as familiarity grows.

But what about season pass content, dlc, loot boxes and online play? You'd be missing out on all the fun content. /s

10 euro coins are pretty common across Europe, but only legal tender in the issuing country.
