I thought you love Russia so much you were gonna move there.

I guess you didn't like the idea of being pressed into military service (AKA the meat grinder) in Ukraine, huh?

Spoken by the guy who relishes not working 4 weeks a year. I would not hire someone who is happy not being productive. No offense.
And there is a cost. Govt infusion, such as that. You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. To float around on lily pads and be oh, so happy, would have to involve governement controls, so everyone is happy. Equal. Usually, if some ...[text shortened]... py. That would be me.

Hmmmmmm...What is a benefit? You left that hanging. What is a benefit?
Does Matheson work for you, then?

Since taking office in December, Javier Milei has cut the number of government ministries from 18 to eight and fired over 50 percent of all government workers.

Some goobermint parasites will be enjoying a great work/life balance.
Not surprising you would like a totalitarian anarcho-capitalist.

Right down your far-right alley.

I would like to say to you libs that when we use the word parasite, we don't mean it in a mean-spirited way, but the def thereof pretty much describes getting money and production from other people.........................which you most certainly do. I can swear to you that I know no one personally that does that.
So, the def comes easily to me.
Republican parasites feed off their employees. You know, the ones working harder than you.

Is "best work-life balance" the same as "least work"?

If not, how does it differ?
It means that your life doesn’t revolve around working; that work is just a part of your life and you have enough time to be doing important things.

The point is, in the US you are forced to spend more time working than is healthy for your private life.

And 4 weeks vacation a year is way too little. That’s a Summer holiday.

Another point about work-life balance, is having room to balance your work with your life (so, being able to work flexible hours, etc. ) .

Shav. That is all well and good, but once again, you leave this out.
You see in this perfect little world of yours, I might just be working my ass off while you ride around in your convertible. But there will come a time when marauder steps out from behind a bush and sees all of my money and you with basic money to live on.
So, I hope you have followed up to now, and can tell me what would happen in the situation like this. You see liberals do not want me to have all that money. They want to get that money from me. You will see that on other various thread here. Would you please respond to this issue? Many thanks.

I have no idea what you’re jibbering on about.

Self defense? Really? You want to measure cocks?
Well, I never need to fight. I have a Glaswegian accent and a body like a brick shyt house. Nobody picks a fukking fight with me.

As for a convertable… yes please. I can’t have one. Insert the gnashing of teeth.

As for your money??? I couldn’t care less. I have literally no idea what you’re on about.

What I am on about is the global problem, esp in societies of government dependence, of people who work hard and amass wealth are 'hit upon' by people like yourself and Marauder to give their wealth over to other people. Why, Shav, some of the people are not even KNOWN to the persons that you hit upon.
So, I demonstrate that by my excellent analogy above that if I have big bucks a the end of the day, Marauder would explain to me that I have to give you a part of that which I have produced or earned.
Note that you find it IMPOSSIBLE to even comment directly to this scenario, beause it is foreing to you, it does not compute.

EDIT: oh, my source. It is Joe Biden, who said Wed Night that he wants Billionaires to start supporting people who are not billionaires. Shav, are you gong to sit there and tell us that that is not socialism?

You misrepresent what Joe Biden said. There's over a trillion bucks that Congress wants to spend over what the government collects in taxes. He asked Republicans if they want to cut spending and they said no.

Sooo?

Raising taxes is the only option at this point. Blame your republican representative in Congress.

Life doesn't revolve around working???????? Working IS life to many people. We know you are a 'holiday' type of guy, but I would rather work than take a cruise, sitting on a ship. Some people adore work and work till they drop. You know that, Shav, but do you want everyone to be like you? I make a lot of money sometimes when I am NOT working. Sure is confusing....and so are you.
