I hope that train travel time was on company time although I doubt it would be if your boss was that much of a penny pinching rear end in a top hat. Anyway trains rule.

The price of resources should drop and the chance that a competitor for one of my projects will get funded has declined. This reduces time to market pressure and increases the time available for learning and thinking. We should see better products. Now, if it would translate into lower housing costs :-)

he's right, but mostly because if there were ever an actual need for those employees to perform labour they would already be dead due to the collapse of society and thus their heath would not concern their employer

there is a need for them to Do Labor now because the expansion of the non-productive "working" class is a tool of the bourgeoisie to erode the unity and strength of the proletariat and expand their influence beyond controlling the means of production to controlling the workers through co-option

Zikan posted:I'm sorry employee #34601 but we can clearly see that you are not perform the optimal amount of exercise according to your mandatory corporate Fitbit and thus need to slash our contribution to your health insurance. a lot of large employers "self-insure" i.e. they pay all healthcare expenses out of pocket, and then hope to recoup most of the costs out of premiums. insurers don't really give any fucks about improving anyone's health, since they make money on the margin. if they don't recoup 110% of costs on year n, they'll bill 130% for year n+1. it literally does not matter what the costs are. your self-insured employer actually pays more money when healthcare costs go up, and billing more doesn't transfer the burden very effectively. they actively want employees to be healthier to reduce costs
