It was basically about how Chinese companies making their employees work 12 hours a day 6 days a week is cool and good and produces great results.

e: with a "American companies should look into this" implication as well.

Work forever. Then work out a lot. Then hope a rich politician tells people to give you charity when you’re potentially dying.

I'm waiting for the Library of Congress to have to archive the official Presidential Dick Pic because he wanted to prove to America that he doesn't have a toadstool-lookin' hog and uses the FEMA alert system to do it.

I'm not sure if I was trying to be funny or genuinely concerned, because we all know there's a possibility of this happening.

I hate to think what'll happen if that "sms to EVERYONE IN THE USA" system works without oversight. It won't have oversight will it, I mean, why would it.

Because rich people (even pro Healthcare for all democrats) don't actually believe in helping people if it affects their bottom line.

If I had a perfect work day every day of the week I would still be working 55 hour weeks. 65-70 hour work weeks are more accurate.

I don't know how the Army got brainwashed into thinking that is acceptable.

And they're still mystified why their soldiers with a lack of sleep, hooked on tobacco and energy drinks, and alcoholism have such low morale.

Not just insurance. We'd also have to pay everyone involved more like everyone else pays them (which is to say less). Completely possible if you wiped out medical school debt, revamped the training process to eliminate the bottlenecks on getting new people into the professions, and just paid everyone a salary like the VA does.

Also you'd have to put the nuts of more than a few pharma and medical device manufacturers in a vise.

Again, like everyone else does. The horror.

I think I really saw it in my NCOIC's actions when he said something during resliency training that equated to "I wish my son wanted to spend more time with me" saw him at a unit fun day and the kid tripped as we were walking past. We asked if he was ok cause it was a proper splat only toddlers can do. He ushered off a "yeah yeah hes fine," and led/marched him by the hand to the table.

I realized then that the Army already turned me into that dad and husband. I would never want to treat my family like soldiers. I had spent so much time away already that I saw an effect on my relationships. Something had to change.

You all should pair up. Share the BAH, all of you get the married perks, your command gets some huge diversity points, and you won't inflict the horrors of marrying into the military onto some innocent civilian.

I think you are forgetting the time honored military tradition of knocking up a PV2 and then marrying her.

But I suppose for authenticity you have to already be married first.

In some industries it’s cheaper to give massive overtime than pay for another employee(benefits).
My old job realized this so I got unlimited overtime. Got old working 60 hour weeks with one weekend on call and another for drill per month.

A new hire is also highly speculative (might be a gently caress-up) and can take a long time to get up to speed, but time-and-a-half is a quantifiable amount.
