Major companies and governments are enforcing mask mandates and shutting down...I mean, what more do you want to understand this is real?

Africa, the Caribbean and Asia took this seriously and are living life normally. The so-called first world Western nations still don't get it in November.

Asia is going to own your asses when this is all over.

Get acquainted with the "996" work schedule, you'll need it.

Yes, a flu with a +99% survival rate is real. You're guzzling propaganda 101 like a plebe drinking beer at a frat party. Without critical thinking to filter it, you're allowing others to form a false reality for you.

Governments all over the world shut down, ordered mask mandates and companies shut down and ordered masks at their places of business. Problem is, they tried your way back in February and March. And it failed. Miserably.

There's a reason you pay taxes for a government. They're paid to manage for a living. They're paid to do research. There's a reason you live in a trailer park and shoot cans all day on welfare.

Know your place.

What are you prattling on about? Is this a soliloquy? Pardon if I'm interrupting.

Quit playing dumb.

Stop being dumb. Put the booze down, express yourself coherently instead.

You're the one that's lit right now, ROFLMAO.

You think 72 hour work weeks don't exist in America? It's not uncommon in the restaurant industry. It's the only way you can make a living wage at a lot of those jobs.

For the most part only if you have 2+ jobs. Tax law has made it too expensive to have most employees working more than 30 hours.

My understanding is that companies that only hire people for part time positions generally do so to avoid having to give them benefits. Small businesses aside I have no sympathy for companies trying to fuck their workers over so their CEOs can get big paydays and a golden parachute on their way out.

Yes.. benefits and other taxes as well that add to the cost of the employee to the business. Whether the CEOs are over payed or not any person wants to get the most they can for their money. By making it that much more expensive to have people working 40 hours+ a week it turns out for some vocations you get more man hours per dollar by having more employees at 30 hr/wk versus 40 hr/wk. I'm afraid its a business decision done at the local managerial level rather than at the central HQ CEO's level. So I don't think their parachute really affects what happens for this issue. I mean lets face it... most of the businesses we're referring to here are just franchises at the low wage employee level. Its largely out of the hands of corporate. They just collect their franchise fees and take care of the marketing and supplies.

Only difference is, that's the minimum in China, ROFLMAO.

And they have real jobs in China...

I think you've already forgotten what "normal" means.
