[1/3] Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt gives Autumn Statement at the House of Commons in London, Britain, November 17, 2022. UK Parliament/Jessica Taylor/Handout via REUTERSLONDON, March 14 (Reuters) - Britain's finance minister Jeremy Hunt is set to provide a 4 billion pound ($4.87 billion) expansion to free childcare for one and two year-olds in England in his budget plan on Wednesday, the Guardian reported on Tuesday. On Sunday, Hunt said he would use this week's budget plan to remove barriers, including high childcare costs, that are stopping people from working and causing a major problem for employers after the COVID-19 pandemic and Brexit. According to children's charity Coram, the average annual price for full-time nursery childcare in England for a child under two was more than 14,000 pounds in 2022.

"I'd love to work more hours," Sharples told Reuters at the home in northern England she shares with her children and web-developer husband. The Centre for Progressive Policy (CPP) think tank has estimated that around 1.5 million British mums would work more hours if childcare permitted. Business groups and researchers argue that acting on childcare in his March 15 budget would do more to unlock greater economic growth. The government says it has spent more than 20 billion pounds in the last five years helping with the cost of childcare. "Childcare unlocks not just the potential of children, but also the potential of parents," Labour leader Keir Starmer said last month.

They offered three reasons why it's unlikely that ChatGPT will replace them in the future. Although ChatGPT might bring some changes to the workplace, here are three reasons why it's unlikely to replace you. Empathy is another skill ChatGPT doesn't have because we have "a higher order way of thinking about things," Jacobson said. ChatGPT can't beat Google's spam policiesCompanies that publish content written by ChatGPT or other AI tools are likely to be penalized by Google's unbeatable spam policies. "For now, the role of ChatGPT and other AI models in content creation is to augment and assist human content creators, rather than to replace them."

☆ Why far-right GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert is in an extremely close re-election race in Colorado
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-10 | by ( Bryan Metzger | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +8 min

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is in a closer-than-expected race against Democrat Adam Frisch. Her Colorado district backed Trump by less than 10 points in 2020, unlike other hard-right Republicans. Boebert's district is more ideologically heterodox. "But within there, there's ski communities, there's traditional ranching communities, there's mining communities, there's industrial communities." Frisch also benefited from the endorsement and backing of GOP state Sen. Don Coram, who represented a far-southwest Colorado district and unsuccessfully challenged Boebert for the GOP nomination this year.

Don Coram wrote a scathing op-ed slamming Lauren Boebert for being "disgraceful." Coram was a Republican congressional candidate who lost the GOP primary to Boebert in June. Join me in voting for Adam Frisch for Congress," Coram wrote. "Sadly, we are at a time when it seems neither party nor their loudest voices have the highest interests of our nation at heart," Coram wrote. "The proof lies in candidates like AOC (Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) and Colorado's own Lauren Boebert, who are the poster children for what President Washington feared."
