Hudgins believes a lasting solution will come from the market, not regulation; and that this approach benefits companies by being cost-effective. “The firm needs to look at those workers as assets that they want to protect,” he says. “In a sense, it [karoshi] is easy to fix. This is absolutely, completely avoidable.”

lmao yeah for sure dude, companies definitely see workers as assets that need to be protected and not resources to wring every last drop of value out of and then discard.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


We just need to undo 40 years of workers being viewed as replaceable cogs which is a symptom of shorttermism stock price chasing. Can’t be that hard!

for some reason a year of boondoggles, death, and economic shutdowns has resulted in better economic outcomes than just running the economy normally. this is a sign that our methodology is sound and there are fantastic things to come

I post the charts and surveys published every month and if you look at them it shows a pattern of slowing down from a short business burst, a "transitory" increase of prices that is starting to trickle down to consumers, hiring starting to slow, manufacturing and service orders while still in "expansion" are slowing, and income is starting to drip if you remove the top percentile of us citizens and government help.

We will have record GDP growth still.

Both are lying, but china is in a much better position than the US. The economy is actually recovering slower than expected too fyi.

Also, the growth that has been occurring has been largely in part because of massive economic stimulus. 25 states are already on the verge of pulling unemployment which is going to cause drop in total personal income even if unemployment starts to improve (i.e now people are desperate again).

Nobody said that all of America would be twice as valuable. Just means some parts of America have to be more than twice as valuable to make up for all the underachievers.

“the Bourgeois principle is the dissolution of all conditions relating to origin, they are to be mastered and reassembled to serve the aim of thought and action. Goals instead of being, tools instead of intrinsic values. It is objectification and analysis. To objectify is to wholly condition and to remove all relationships to origins. To objectify and subjugate everything by the reduction of all things to systems.”
