    Not to mention that the German labor market is plagued by “mini jobs”, where they won’t give you over a certain amount of hours a week, and they don’t have to give you benefits. But sure, the obviously overworked workers getting sick is a ploy to slow down the economy.

      What’s extra funny is that even capitalist economics will tell you that capital cannot be an all take and no give deal, no matter how much it wants to.

      Income inequality is bad for the economy, and as much as the porks like to think that they’ll take on doing all the consuming…they’re too miserly to actually spend money that they would rather sit on and do nothing with.

      Unemployment is bad for the economy and human health…hard to survive when no one wants to provide you with a means of survival. I shit you not, I tried using a treat printer for job advice and they started telling me to consider “alternative lifestyles”, even the treat printer is too intellectually lazy to imagine porky expanding his business whether he wants to or not. It is easier to imagine people that porky is simply too picky to put to work to just abandon their friends and family and return to monke before entry-level jobs becoming a thing again.
