Originally posted by NARCassist there are so many man hours of work needed to be done each week to keep a country going. by setting the working week at 40 hours, that leaves X amount of millions out of work. why do you think it is that they don't change the working week to say 35 hours, making all the work shared out more equally and leaving nobody without work?
the government can't control how much work needs to be done (which varies by industry) outside of a fascist or communist structure. Reducing the 'working hours' per week without being able to reduce the amount of work required will just lead to companies trying to find ways around it, especially given that different industries will be unevenly impacted - even in low-skilled jobs it (statistically) takes around six months of training and practice for an employee to become proficient at their role. In more skilled roles (ie. jobs that actually pay more than minimum wage) you need people with uncommon skillsets, ranging from tradesmen who need several years of apprenticeship, training and experience to doctors and engineers who need years of full-time training to middle-managers who need to spend years hitchhiking and getting tricked into gay experiences and phantom babies.
It's kind of like the complaints about the H1B program in the US, people complain that foreigners are being given the most lucrative jobs over US citizens, but the education system has failed to such a degree that there are simply not enough competent prospects if the companies in question were forced to hire domestically -
2018-06-08 at 7:33 AM UTCThe only drugs I've done in the last several years is herb and alcohol.. My days of experimenting are probably behind me now. I could easily give up alcohol forever, but I'd honestly feel like life would be so unbearably bland if I didn't smoke down at least a few months out of the year.
All my friends.. Hell, nearly all the people I went to school with period are either in jail or doing meth now. I don't come from a real rough place, that shit has just taken it's hold here. Shame too, because unlike years ago when everyone had weed and loved smoking down with people just so socialize, now finding a quality bag is about damn near impossible or it'll cost you some ridiculous amount of money. Fucking Meth.. -
2018-06-08 at 7:33 AM UTCYour idea could work for minimum wage industries like food prep and retail, but people getting paid that little already typically want to work as much as possible and would just make up the lost hours in overtime

2018-06-08 at 7:58 AM UTCthey don't want to work that much, they have to to pay the bills. they're seriously underpaid so they have no choice.

2018-06-08 at 8:04 AM UTCyeah, reducing the working week isn't going to help remedy the situation though, it's likely to do the opposite

2018-06-08 at 8:06 AM UTCwhat have everyone working, no tax dollars needed to fund welfare, less hours for more pay. that's only gonna make things worse for the 1%. for everyone else its better.

Originally posted by NARCassist besides, you call me unemployed but i'm not unemployed, nobody is truly unemployed, that's just a word, an ideology that they use to keep you all in line. i trade, just like your boss does, that's working. i just work for myself is all. so unlike y'all i answer to nobody. i'm free to make my own decisions. you mentioned earlier §m£ÂgØL that you'd never had a day off. i can have any day off i like, at the drop of a hat if i like. i could pack a bag right this minute and go to the other side of the country for a month, six months, a year or more even. and i don't have to ask permission to do so from anybody. i could make the decision to get steaming drunk any night of theweek knowing i'd be totally unfit to work tomorrow, but it don't matter, ain't nobody gonna be screaming at me for doing so.
and you think you're free? that you are not just a glorified slave? enjoy your slavery pal.

If people didn't work for other people, we wouldn't have a civilization. You being a drug dealer is sacrificing your freedom. You've already been locked up for it. Besides, you get money from the government because they've accepted you're a piece of shit. They can take it away at any time. You are far from independent.
Right now I could live in China indefinitely on my independent income. You can't move abroad and still get welfare. -

Your concept of economics is... Loose.
Like you know there's money involved, and some people have more than others, but that's about where your knowledge ends. -

i'm not dealing drugs you idiot. right this moment my ebay listings are at £25 and will likely exceed 30 by the time they end this evening. i got more tomorrow. that's just from my ebay shit. i'll leave that to itself and go out later and do some other shit.
and the money i get from the govt is my compensation for them taking away over 3 years of my life, so fuck them, they owe it to me afaic.

You don't even need to tax people if your country runs on fiat. Central bankers i.e. the Fed can just print X amount of money to pay for everyone's welfare and all the social programs. The problem is, if you do it for too long you will obliterate the value of your currency. This is why in Japan for instance you pay thousands of Yen for products you'd pay 10-20 dollars/euros for here in the West. -
2018-06-08 at 9:14 AM UTCWell, I'm employed at least
-
2018-06-08 at 9:15 AM UTCWhere I live it's 350K minimum for a 900 square foot shitty house. I get paid more than many in this thread aparently -- and that isnt even that much ~60K.
I need to get back on the darkweb and go shopping. -

2018-06-08 at 12:07 PM UTCThere are no real functioing economies in the UK or Europe and most nations there are on the brink of bankruptcy just like Greece. Italy, France, etc., just prop up the elusion there is an EU economy and Germany being the most corrupt makes the most profits. Seperate nations can't even make their own immigration polices and main reason the UK left. Too late...London is being destroyed by illegals and radicals. Profits are also not that high considering the migrant problem and over used social services. Italy for example moving to the right wants to stop using the Euro and start trading on it's own with no restictions. Politicians don't run the countries...non elected opportunists do in Berlin and eventually the truth will be revealed. Their militaries are useless and why Russia is so bold and confident. Without the US Europe would be helpless and why Trump will get most of what he wants at the G7 meetings. France and Canada already support his move on N Korea and claiming the EU is a united force is a joke since they are actually frail.
