No.

You're supposed to be thanking Men for civilization.

Every bit of it.

Every comfort that you enjoy.

The roof over your head.

The roads you drive on.

The readily available food at your disposal.

All that is because of men.

You're welcome.

Nope.

You and your fellow Liberal voters did that.

Congrats.

Bernie has NO understanding of basic economics
He wants to collapse our economic system so the government can seize control and reinvent it, making us socialist since the government would run the economy.

This may be the only truthful statement you make all year.

If Men stop working hard, civilization collapse, that is inarguable.

Sweet.

So we can cut off all aid in every conceivable way, shape and form to our "enlightened" allies and let them pay all their own freight?

32-hour work week as a national labor mandate.... why not?


because that is not enough hours. i can tell you have never worked O&G. we worked 98 hours for times, 84, 70, etc a week.

production has to be met. hours have to be put in.

you will turn all these clowns into lazy arse government type mentality with that. businesses won't put up with that shite.

Seems like their making themselves quite a bit of money.



Yeah, but the business owner who is taking the risk to ruin his financial life, be the first to forego pay if SHTF, plans the strategy of production and deployment of the workforce in his company needs to share more with the workers. Except the risk. He shouldn’t share the risk. Or the withheld pay in bad quarters/years. He shouldn’t share that either.



-also Bernie, probably


This would end most 24-hour businesses and more that likely skyrocket prices due to production shortages. But it’s a great way to buy votes when you say it like that and let any old idiot read it and get excited by it without thinking or understanding of any of the attached consequences.

That's great. It paid off for you. Of course, it doesn't for everyone.

Why does this have to be a mandatory government driven policy? If this truly were increasing productivity like people are claiming it has done in Europe, why would American companies not be adopting it already to increase productivity?

Ok comrade.

I bill hours to clients. Every hour I bill is because I’m making other people money.

Suggesting making other people money is a bad thing shows your worthlessness.

What’s miserable is women making an issue to ‘be equal’ with men, for years, until they finally break through and become half the work force, then they do nothing but bitch about having to work. You and cubs have that in common
