I've been meaning to post this for several weeks now. I heard on PBS weeks back that France's newly elected PM wants to make overtime pay tax-free. The reason? To encourage people to work more. Now there's a brilliant concept if I ever heard one. Brilliant if your goal is to enslave the people and turn them into mindless working robots.
Why the fuck the people of France elected this idiot is beyond my grasp. Of course we do have George W. Bush supporters in this country, even to this day. And that will ALWAYS be beyond my comprehension. Of course, they likely have "elections" in much the same way we do here in the states.
So I guess we can say "so long" to the reasonable work weeks and likely, those afternoon siesta's. What will he do next? Take away the country's mandated vacation?
Sigh. The last thing this planet needs is another conservative, pro-corporate/capitalistic/ greedy workalcoholic leading the way. Where are the true liberals, the tree and people hugging, vacation/nap/break loving, leisurely, laid back, passionate, honest folks? Oh that's right. WE ARE ENSLAVED TO THE CONSERVATIVE WORKALCOHOLICS.
