RE: High Time
Man I - nothing. I have stuff - see below but I just can't do this working / not working black and white. When education and legislation is making minotiries (arguably majorities) susceptible it seems too easy to label and keep the lies flying. Besides the same legislsation disenfrancsises and creates gaps for people to fall through.
Again I ask where is all this increase in efficieny getting us, personally nothing (unless your an owner) and society just seems to work harder. I chat with Japan and I can call them at midnight and they answer the phone. A friend over there tells me that they judge performance by presence, a guy who does real well with results but goes at 6 will be out the door before slow Jo staying till midnight but sleeping most of the day. Now this is not right and it seems sad to label those who don't play. |Aww, It's probably me not being strong/clever enough to find a way out.
Anyway the below is here, but first...diddling the social is a fine art and the more generous the system the more difficult it is to find work which is worth signing off for
outgoings need to be met by incomings - how much do you need. Inflation, litigation, falling standards (education and healthcare standards fall but hey private is available)
Social secutiry is dying- people got to work (harder) to make sure they have enough to get them through their increased retired life expectancy
Social health care covers less of the supercures becomming available - you gotta work harder to live longer
advertising makes want (and reduces your happiness) but costs
People learn or are born less able to cope with an increasingly strict system (how many countries are reducing legislation)
