    If you whip your horses they pull the chariot faster.

    If you keep whipping them they pass out from exhaustion or injure themselves and have to be killed.

    They try to squeeze the last bit of productivity out of the workforce - while salaries stagnate.

    Sure, there are studies that show that a good work-life-balance (like the 4 day workweek) increase productivity and reduce sic days - but that doesn’t feel right.

    It gives the boss a much better feeling to scream at his employees, force overtime, micromanage, set impossible goals and work them to the bone. How can you feel like a boss if you don’t increase your workers misery?

    People in the US go hungry, the US government has so much cheese in stockpile that they use caves/abandoned mines to store it.

    It reminds me of the story about that guy who trained his donkey to go with less food, and just as he was getting it to go with no food at all,the stupid animal died.

      it is a problem because the people in power are the ones that have to be regulated.

      the only fix is ending capitalism.
