Productivity means employers get more work out of less employees and thus have more profit to distribute to CEOs and shareholders. Productivity doesn't do shit for the employees.

Ultimately though there is one difference between German and the U.S. in this regard; in Germany people guard and fight to the death for their holidays and vacation. No one will take a job that gives them less vacation than they feel they deserve. The U.S. we bend over backward to GIVE UP our vacation, to get that promotion, to suck up to our shitty boss, to beat that person who wanted to spend time with their family from time to time (pussies, clearly). Until everyone stands up and demands some time off, the U.S. won't get any.

You see, the factors Urgutha Forka notes are the very things that asdure an employer will "make payroll"

But when others call you on your silliness you attempt to figuratively bat your eyelashes and go "What? I dont see it".

You are a joke, Phoebe. Have a good thanksgiving, hon.

Well they tried that in France and guess what? Unemployment still over 10%. And you all bitch that 8% is bad?

I thought of that several times reading the posts from Democratic moochers. Sure, many of them were working hard at jobs they loved, and might work that hard no matter the unemployment statistics. But I bet at least a few of them would like to breathe a little easier. And the self-employed people, doing the American Dream of running your own business -- if health care wasn't such a burdensome cost, I bet at least a few of them would have more people on their payroll.

In a somewhat related note: The less crap you have, the less bills you have to pay, the less you have to sell your life to penny-pinching dead-end employers.

Phoebe: An inanimate object is less clueless than you. Everything you think you know is wrong. Chill out, eat some turkey, have a lovely Thanksgiving. Take a fresh start tomorrow, dear.
