Easy for a guy who never has to work another day in life to suggest other people need to change their work / life balance. What Forbes calls China’s “cutthroat work culture,” of 996 (9AM to 9PM, six days a week) others simply call human rights abuse. [Media: https://youtu.be/EkuVqdj8O6E?t=193]

    Or, counterpoint, maybe we should handle rich people’s money more efficiently to stimulate economic growth instead of hampering it.

      Also, why should the average American care about competing with China in the first place?

    American workers are about 6x more productive than Chinese workers based on my preliminary research. These guys are just fucking ghouls

    996 was there for legitimate reasons, not stuffing some capitalist offshore bank account with unnecessary wealth, iirc.
