In my country (also Europe) phones are banned in schools (all the way up to high schools) as well. The kids just put them in their locker in the morning, and take them out again when they leave. If you get caught with it, you face detention. So yeah, that works.

This article really caught my attention because I myself also rent privately, but fortunately I live in a part of the world that cares about its civilians and so I don't have an end-date in my contract, nor can the owner increase the rent unrestrictedly. - so I guess I'll just continue getting older from actual old age ;-)

I think what is meant here (or at least, this is also my opinion): a company that doesn't trust its workers and wants to treat them like this will get no commitment from their staff, and they will lack any motivation to make this business a success. After all: it's the people that make the business, that talk to your customers, etc.

Aside from that, it should be illegal in the US as well.

I think that the words 'investment' and 'crypto' should never be in the same sentence. Though 'gambling' and 'crypto', sure.
