Reply #23: Smells like BS to me....

With lines like this...

"That's one way that markets equilibrate. Another way may affect how hard we work. It's obvious that if real total pay is going nowhere, we may have to work harder just to improve our living standard."

--Isn't this a message to managers to crack the whips harder on the wage slaves & likely the wage slaves aren't reading this...SO do they want us to kill ourselves like the Japanese, for even less benefits?

Do you KNOW anybody who has a full-time job who does NOT work "hard enough?" I don't.

Thanks for bringing this up. I'm surprised so many agree that we are "lazy" --I don't see it. My brother has a business in another country and he thinks Americans work too hard for too little & are generally exploited.

Why does anyone here think we are, as a nation, lazy? :shrug: What's the evidence for that?
