I dunno... There's a sister plant in Germany that runs the same products as us and here are some of the benefits... 3-4 people on a machine instead of 2. Higher pay. Strict requirements against working overtime thanks to german law... Part of the reason they have extra people, so that if one person goes out the other isn't forced to live at work for who knows how long.

Some of these european countries seem to spend their money much more efficiently. Their central banks are still buying their bonds but their debt to GDP ratios are no where near ours and their workers are able to have more FREE TIME. I don't know what it is about the US system that makes it so corrupt and inefficient but it could take some lessons from Germany in multiple ways.

I think people should have to work to survive but they shouldn't be forced to live at work like in countries that don't ban forced overtime. Life would be so much more peaceful if I could plan on being off when I'm scheduled to be. 42 hours a week is enough for me. I'm a minimalist.... Heck I could get by on 36.... 3 12 hour days...wouldn't that be sweet.

We are a global economy though it can be argued these european countries benefit from the united States reckless spending and they all benefit from underpaid third world labor ...

She has the most liberal voter record in the Senate, and she has proposed some very leftist ideas.

You are aware that our allies basically don’t have to worry about defense because of us, right? That costs a fortune.

Literally our tax dollars keep them safe so they can pretend to be elitist and act snooty toward and sneer at Americans

SCOTUS will save us from anything close to far left. If anything close gets passed people WILL sue and they WILL hear the cases. Imagine if Hillary got 3 picks. Whew.

One thing to consider it if you have rental property... especially full time residential rental property. The idea of controlling rental rates and no evictions would/could be a possible concern of mine.

I would prefer seasonal/short term rental instead.

We all do what we want, and many of us try to hide that fact. Do what you want.
