But your logic was wrong?
You claim my wife and kid would be better off without me in the picture. That would mean I can just quit my job tomorrow and tell her to deal with it and it would improve her and the child's life.
How the fuck would that happen?
i'm angry because you're just so bad at logic.
Don't you know the statistics about single moms? They have the lowest quality of life. You disgusting monkey.
Why wouldn't I get emotional? You threaten my family.
It's logical that I get angry at you.
If you lower your working hours to 32 hours per week then this would happen.
Foreign countries their labour will gain in desirability for capital.
Your area will still require the environment to keep you alive, so if you are simply surviving, then it would be a good choice for you.
Now, I live in Belgium. We have a median net worth of 250k euros per adult. We have a lot to lose. If we work less, we simply have less money.
The good thing to do, would be to earn more money. Not work less.
You know how much Indonesians work? Singaporeans? Chinese? They work more than us.
Belgians statistically work only a few hours a week. Do you think our high median net wealth came from nothing?
We work at our property after our hours.
My dad never hired anyone to do anything in the house. He did everything himself. We don't have a gardener. We do all of it ourselves.
Belgians work part time for themselves.
The truth is that value does not come without labour. Can't magically lay on the couch and expect value to arise.
Nah because the child isn't born yet, the money would go to my brother.
If I didn't love my wife, I would just discard her and be a deadbeat father.
I'm not really wasting resources, my net worth increases every day because I'm the main source of income for my family. If I would die, my wife would have to look for another man.
Men aren't really interested in raising another guy's child.
I would kill you without a second's hesitation if you threaten my child's well being
Why would it be something that nobody has thought of before? It's common knowledge that polarisation is a big issue nowadays.
You're just unwilling to do anything about it.
I support that. Let's have a meaningful movement. Not to decrease our working hours, but to increase our earnings compared to our productivity.
A part of my job is to calculate the income of the doctors at our hospital.
They earn their income based on their effort. If they do an easy thing, then they earn little money. If they do something more scarce, then they earn more money. They earn money based on how many patients they help. Not based on how many hours they are at the hospital.
I see vast differences between income between doctors. Many of them are fine with working few hours because they earn enough anyways. Other doctors aim at 40k euros income per month. They work a lot.
It's personal choice.
The work reform movement must include the people that want to work a lot.
People that are satisfied with basic necessities (I'm sad for their children) are fine enough with simple tax and social transfers. They don't even need to have a job (they are hated by people).
But the people that want to work, need to be paid for their efforts.
That's fine. Work as much as you want. Just expect your income to accompany your productivity.
My wife works 14 hours a week, if she wants more money then she doesn't just take it from my account, she just goes and work more.
I put my money in stocks
The money goes to our kid. Not to her luxuries.
Yeah, I like working for my family since I love them
I'm not wanted here, because it's an echo chamber.
I'm still here. So, maybe you should start using your brain and start figuring out why I am here.
Do you think people don't go places just because they aren't wanted? You think you have any ability to threaten me so that I wouldn't be here?
Nah. I'm just here because it's on my social media feed and the content interests me. I'm against what you people want to achieve and I don't have an issue with letting you know that.
I'm petite bourgeoisie, half my income comes from capital.
My workplace is very leftist. It's a hospital, the income is all thanks to subsidies from the tax payers.
Everyone is paid based on a barema, everyone gets the same. That's because of unions. I'm fine with that. But I'm learning everything about the hospital and will demand a higher position or simply go to another hospital that agrees to give me that.
I despise stagnation. These coworkers do the same job as I do, I'm 29 and they are in their 50s.
The 24 year old newbie is more productive than those oldies. Our generation has been educated more profoundly.
These oldies can only do their own tasks and if you ask them anything else, they freak out.
The younger generation is a lot more flexible. I'm learning the tasks of everyone at the department. Then I'll expand it to finance. I have my eyes on multiple positions and the people who have those positions are actual capable workers.
The thing I'm earning on top of my wage is experience (human capital).
if you always do the same tasks year after year, you're basically.. well.. you're replaceable by AI.
Adults are pretty much the community. If all the adults stopped working, then everyone will starve.
The adults that can't provide, need help.
But that's not me or you.
We work, okay buddy?
Belgium's population grew from 9 to 11 million in 65 years. My wife's country Indonesia grew from 80 to 280 million people in 65 years.
Median net wealth of Belgian is 250k euros and in Indonesia it's 5k euros.
Your perspective is the one that needs to be expanded.
Belgians don't want kids because they don't believe in a god. They have pensions even though they don't have kids.
In Indonesia they are extremely religious, so they think having kids is important. They don't have meaningful pensions, so they need kids to survive.
You're quite mistaken.
We don't have kids because we are financially rewarded to not have kids. I vote against pensions for this reason.
