RE: the Mosquito device mentioned last: Seems to me there is no case; all of the cases cited in European courts are against a STATE, not individuals…unless there is a provision of Article 3 that I am not aware of, getting teens to go somewhere else is not a “violation” of human rights.
If it’s true, as the quote in the article claims, that women make 77 cents for every dollar men make, then think of the money us Taxpayers could have saved if Hillary Clinton were our president!
Robert, sorry, but you can’t make an inference from an average to a specific case.
