B402, Nonresponsive. You could not do the different parts of my post justice in < 5 min consideration of it.
To yours, which of course i considered more than you consider any of ours, who doesn't understand government stats are basically accurate but headlines and important basic measures do not give the same picture as perceived by the public.
I haven't seen you post anything, e.g., in favor of a shorter working week as one tried and trusted way of dealing somewhat with underemployment:
Research shows that working fewer hours can be far more productive. Richard Godwin clocks on to find out if it’s true [...] The Netherlands and Germany have the shortest working weeks in Europe and among the highest productivity. When Microsoft Japan trialled a four-day week, productivity shot up by 40%. Everyone was also happier.
I have a strong suspicion the extra time spent with my baby son will create lasting value Richard Godwin
All the trials seem to suggest the same thing. Everyone working less – with no reduction in pay – could be a solution to everything from Britain’s chronic productivity problems and the mental health pandemic to the broken care sector. It’s better for the planet, too. When we’re overworked, we drive more, eat more processed food and buy more disposable items. Less pressure means more time to breathe. And while this may sound decadent given, well – I am gesturing hopelessly at the cost-of-living crisis, an all-but general strike, austerity rebooted, pandemic fallout, Brexit fallout, a recession deeper than any in the G7, and a deep-seated Gradgrindism at the heart of government. (Gradgrind’s philosophy, from Charles Dickens’s Hard Times: “Every inch of the existence of mankind, from birth to death, was to be a bargain across a counter. And if we didn’t get to Heaven that way, it was not a politico-economical place and we had no business there.”) But the grim economic weather only makes the case stronger, say activists. “We have a big section of the population who are underemployed and a big section who are overemployed,” says Joe Ryle of the Four-Day Week campaign. “Shorter working hours is a natural way to share those hours across the economy.” https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175028107&txt2find=underemployed
That's one, which you and all of us could guess where Republicans stand on the suggestion. Check, ok
Do you support or not a US trial on a shorter work week?
I think we know your reaction to that question too.
And you chose not to deal objectively with any of the substance of this post:
B402, Your stupid one-sided spiel is as tiresome as it is untrue. You talk about fact-based, [...]NAFTA, 20 Years Later: Do the Benefits Outweigh the Costs? [...]What’s really behind Republican obstructionism? "From Gingrich to McCarthy, the Roots of Governance by Chaos Mr. Gingrich began the zero-sum politics that mutated into the brand of the Tea Party and TrumpM.A.G.A. Republicans and that presaged the raucous speaker battle in the House." https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=175783693
For one only - Do you agree or disagree on the position there of obstructionism? I doubt if you have ever committed on even that, here.
Sorry pal, you don't have leg to stand on. Your claim to care for the ordinary American goes no further than a claim to care. Who does that remind you of? Yeah....Trump.
