The most productive county in the world by GDP per hours worked, is Norway. Norway mandates all sorts of leave policies such as four weeks vacation and 43 weeks of maternity/paternity leave. If you look at the list of most productive countries in the world, they are almost entirely counties with similar mandated benfits. (Notable exception: The United States)It's another canard that leave benefits hurts productivity. By all evidence it actually helps.
if it's a "canard" then open up a business and show your people the love and let me know how it works out for ya
I’m not going to do that. But if I did I certainly wouldn’t care if a female employee wanted to shave her head.
i've met a lot of people who have never written a paycheck, much less run a business, claim they know better. give it a try sometime.
As soon as daddy hands me a fully developed practice I'll try that.
that's right wise ass and then continue to run it successfully for another 17 years ain't by accident. 60 year old family legacy operating at 3-4 x revenues over this time span no matta ey? let me know when your business starts to approach this. i'm not trying to toot any horns here smith, but your bullschmit response forced my hand not sure what your point is though so we'll put that down as a swing and a miss
So daddy put you through school and then handled you a fully developed practice...well done. Another right-winger that pulled themselves up by their own bootstraps.My "business" generates over $10M in new sales a year, not to mention recurring revenues. And I paid my own way through MU.
Ok. Things I dont get are d!@$ measuring contests on message boards.
Born on second and thinks he hit a double.... Maybe you can run for President one day.
Another thing I don't get is why people always compare the US and Norway. Norway has fewer people than the Chicago metro area and has tremendous oil wealth. They produce about 600K more barrels of oil per day than the US gets from the Gulf of Mexico. I wonder if their low population and oil wealth could possibly lead to high per capita GDP? Maybe the answer is more oil? Or maybe attributing a complex issue to a single variable is stoopid.
Yup, it is so intellectually dishonest. Similar to the broadband comparisons a nation like Korea or Japan have and then crying we don’t despite being many X larger in territory. The comparisons they make are absurd...absolutely absurd....their populations are more homogenous, they don’t have anywhere close to the world shouldering we do in defense, monetary influence, peacemaker, etc. I rather enjoy it, however, because it exposes the simplicity of their argument for all to see.
Having brought up broadband, do you think the ISPs in the US will be giving back the money they were given to upgrade fiber infrastructure?
Damn it! I liked this thread. Surprised it lasted as long as it did. I’ll miss it. Thanks, guys.
Norway with a tiny population smaller than Los Angeles, doesn’t have to be the world cop and defend anyone, etc, etc...talk about canard.
