Arcs in this manga can be rather long though, so not sure how close it actually is to ending.
Though in retrospect that's been a third of the manga now.
It's the Marissa Mayer strategy, and it continues to be vile.
Actually, it hit me why this arc is resonating with me so strongly. It's because it reminds me of my favorite scene of my favorite arc of the Order of the Stick, and hands down probably the fictional moment that has most reduced me to a ball of tears. I cannot recommend that webcomic to people enough. https://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0001.html
Quote in question (spoilering it):
Reminds me of the police officer's attitude exactly.
Sofia's attitude shift as she realized just how strong Makoto truly is, and how he's not taking her even remotely serious, is a big change from how even after their first encounter she was still gungho about killing him. And now, four named dragons later worth of power, she literally can't even touch him anymore. Also when she realizes that Tomoki's charm spell may have actually affected her after all with Makoto offering to dispell it out of pity.
Wonder how Lancer vs Shiki will go. Probably a bit closer of a fight, but Shiki's definitely still got advantage.

I personally would not expect a proposal in that length of time.

At least consecutive cours harken back to the 24-26 episode series from when I was younger.
I assume it's basically the same thing, just that anime is usually aired in blocks of ~12 episodes so they fit into the quarterly TV scheduling blocks and they call those blocks of 12 weeks cours

The French "cours" is actually singular, but when English-speakers started using the word it was hypercorrected.
As for why it's like that, the answer is sitcoms, and that the stations have a much deeper control and investment over show production in Japan than in the US. Japan's broadcasting was on 6 month schedules. There was a first half of the fiscal year season, and the second half, and shows were typically reorged and whatnot between them. But soap operas/dramas got ultra popular in the 80s that the stations got super possessive about their popular actors jumping ship to another station, so they changed their format to lock them in for longer, but with breaks in within seasons for them to hit up the variety/talk show circuit, which also exploded around that time. They also generally stopped announcing how many episodes a show was going to run for in case it was canceled because cancellation was seen as a black mark.
And anime's mostly aired at around midnight and the money it brings in is what the producers themselves pay the studios, not advertisement. It's not the money maker for any station, so they're going to be going by the production rules and setup of the big dogs in the TV industry.
This one makes a lot of sense, but with stuff like that I always wonder if the end result will be good luck getting a ride to or from *select the minority areas of your city*.
BC has a human rights tribunal that tends to come down pretty heavily on this type of discrimination, eventually. It isn't perfect, and there's still discrimination for sure, but generally this isn't as large of a problem as it is in other areas.
How would that work for gig workers, where it's the individual employees who are discriminating and the company can't really do much about it?
Essentially, employers are responsible for the behaviour of their employees. Based on previous cases, what would happen is there would be a judgment against Uber for example, and then it would be on Uber to deal with their employees.
