The term ddh will surface sooner than later H.
Talk to the youngest Son last night who work logistics 50 miles from here.
One a week are walking out and He got another $2000 not to walk out as a premium payment.
He told them bluntly 50 hours per week is all or else.
The pace set as to not destroy me was conveyed.
He was polite and blunt to them and thankful for the compensation.
It's hard to know where to start in response to this but the first thing that comes to mind is I was in a third world country a little less than 3 years ago. And I noticed the Uber drivers might do, say, 2 rides per day compared to an Uber driver in the US needing to do, say, 15 rides per day to meet expenses. The ratio looked to be about 7 to 1. The same food items cost 5 times in the US. The Uber driver would lollygag around in the lobby of the hotel and I witnessed an incident where someone delayed him beyond the appointed time to finish a meal and it was no problem. He just sat in the lobby calmly and waited for about 15 minutes. He didn't have a care in the world. Everybody is polite and unhurried. Meanwhile, though, the hotel is surrounded with iron gates and it's chaos out in the streets. The roads are poorly maintained. The ex-pats who work for the corporations say they are glad to get out of Europe so they can relax. But security for the corporations doesn't allow them to be outside secured areas for more than 4 hours due to risk of kidnapping.
Here in the US, The 97th Percentile has been running the rest of the population harder and harder on the hamster wheel for decades to stay in place, and I think the population is exhausted. As one example, the birth rate can't even be maintained, but in the third world country I described they are still well above replacement. Your comment above seems representative of what is going on everywhere in the US. To alleviate that, in my opinion, there can be either deflation or a collapse into a dark age (more inflation certainly won't do the trick). Those are the only two choices in my opinion, the only ways to slow the pace down. The 97th Percentile has stupidly chosen the latter, not because they are smart, but because they are stupid.
