- Comment on Want happier employees? Start with a 32-hour workweek – and 4 weeks vacation. 1 month ago:
Productivity goes up with shorter working hours, anyway.
That is pretty much entirely untrue with blue collar jobs. I’m working from the start to the end of my shift—working less or more hours as I do depending on the season doesn’t change that. Pace stays about the same.
It would be easy to implement at any company that makes a decent profit margin.
Slower production isn’t just about profit margins–it’s also about fulfilling your customers needs

We are already unionized, which tbh makes it worse.
It’s part of my position as union stewards duty to walk these chuds through it

Not “won’t work”. Considerably harder. Big difference. There’s companies who have successfully implemented it in blue collar jobs.
But more put simple, it’s that unlike white collar, output has a direct relationship with how many hours are worked, up to probably nearly 50, more or less depending on the job.
So, in practice it turned out that slower service was one of the largest problems with it.
Half of the benefit issue costs would go away with universal healthcare anyways

Join a union. I work part time in America. After just one year of working I had 3 weeks of vacation. After 3 I now have 4 weeks and am taking my 2nd international trip of the year and 3rd vacation trip of the year.
Or better yet, unionize your own workplace with vacations as the primary demand

My dipshit coworkers think trump will actually be good for unions. Mfers.
I’d like to add that 32 hour weeks is pretty much purely something that works for white collar work. It’s considerably harder to implement in blue collar settings.
- Comment on Generational differences 1 month ago:
Fundraising typically isn’t something they have to do. That’s a wild leap. It’s usually just for an extra field trip or something.
And more importantly, it gives kids real experience

Intelligent people in those countries do realize though…
- Comment on Philosophy moment 2 months ago:
Yes, and when there’s no downside, that’s fine. There’s plenty of downsides to allowing kids to use smartphones. If the actual and serious concern was for their children, they could give their children dumb phones instead.
- Comment on Philosophy moment 2 months ago:
The same logic used to have nuclear drills where you get under the desks. It’s ineffective, does nothing, and will change nothing. It only serves for helicopter parents to feel better about themselves. As their kids brains rot away
- Comment on Philosophy moment 2 months ago:
That’s the stupidest logic that I hear repeated.
A.cops don’t do shit B. There’s still a phone in every room anyways not every kid needs one.
You don’t need your kid to have a computer in their pocket everyday just in the unlikely occasion a school shooting is happening in which case they can still just use the school phone…
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 2 months ago:
Minecraft doesn’t have many of those instant dope hits if you limit what servers they can play on, instead having them favor single player. If you’re going to let them play, I think Minecraft is one of the best options. Though I’m not so sure 5 is the right age to start.
- Comment on Minecraft confuses me 2 months ago:
Yup. That’s good parenting. It’s crazy how young parents allow their kids to be on the internet. I do believe Minecraft is a good early game for a child though.

He was streaming an unreleased copy. Good luck owning that.
- Comment on What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere? 2 months ago:
there but those who use “literally” as every second word in their sentences awaken a primal rage inside of me that is yearning for rock to split skull.
I hard agree. Misuse of literal is a problem many decades old and it hurts still

- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 months ago:
…no, I’m not. They’re very serious, and should be taken as such. But that doesn’t make them an accurate risk assessment in it of an individual incident, you need to look at numbers, for a real risk assessment

Social media requires free users to function on to fundamental of a level for that to really work tbh

Not notifications, but I have to leave my volume on in case there’s an emergency call from work or a friend

We all know exactly what you’re really saying here and you’ll deny and make excuses about it.
Just because you read into it wrong doesn’t make your bullshit interpretation correct.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 2 months ago:
An actual risk assessment would look at % not single incidents
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 months ago:
It’s disingenuous because they’re not everywhere. They’re in a specific subset of high crime areas.
It’s a very own problem in its own right, but when including in a statistic used to represent all of America as shooting people up is what makes it a poor and often intentionally misleading statistic as compared to how safe you actually are in the average area
- Comment on Anon is a statistic 2 months ago:
I mean, most of those are gang shootings, no? Those are always a bit disingenuous to call mass shootings.
