re: And yet it works
Heck, six weeks of vacation are the norm in those countries, compared to two weeks here. I'd say most Americans would be a whole lot more relaxed and healthier if we took six weeks vacation too.
Six weeks sounds pretty good, unless you leave granny at home to roast.
The quality of life isn't measured only in corporate profits, Tom.
Maybe not, but when nobody is making profits, after a while everybody gets a permanent vacation. You have been watching the European economic statistics, haven't you? The Free Lunch is about to run out of entrees. Watch Europe closely over the next decade or so, since they are on the path the Democrats have mapped out for us, just a little ways ahead.
