Nah, it’s been a marathon this is just that last sprint before the finish.
Comment on US will allow truckers to drive 16 hours per day instead of the previous limit of 14 hours

The finish line is a cliff/societal collapse.

As a non-American, I find it baffling and hilarious that many Americans are proud to work 80 hours a week. It’s not a flex. They’d regret having done so when they become too frail and forgetful at the old age. And all the money they saved and pension being collected will be spent on healthcare and medication instead.
They did not even live their life when they were young and they won’t even enjoy the remainder.

Jokes on you, I’m young(ish) and not enjoying it already. Haven’t been enjoying it since about 2002.

We don’t even have pensions.

Didn’t live when was young. Can confirm.

apparently in academia, they think its a flex for PI to be working that much, granted the competitive to be hired at 4-year is pretty high.

They’re fucking dumb

Propagandized == Dumb. No one is immune to propaganda, but propaganda can be overcome.
mrmisses@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
The dimmer the better propaganda works. And Americans are dumb as shit. Don’t believe me, look who is president for the second time
Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Just like the Japanese and Chinese right?
CommanderCloon@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
Chinese have legally defined retirement ages close to Europe, so even if they have high working hours comparable to the US at least they don’t have to work until death.
