Federal law in the US requires a half hour unpaid lunch break for full time employees. Why does this translate sometimes into a forced hour long unpaid lunch break? I eat in about 10 minutes and I'd like to spend more time with my family. Do employers just plan for chatty lazy assholes to need an hour for lunch, and make the rest of us pay for it?

Do you know how we got the 8 hour work day and 40 hour work week? The fucking commies will say the unions gave it to us but that is a fucking lie. Henry Ford is the man who did this and he used studies he paid for to justify it. He was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived. The auto industry is what gave us the large middle class in the USA that is now shrinking dramatically over the past few decades with the loss of our manufacturing sector.

He also increased the pay of his factory workers with the thinking being that the people who make his products should be able to afford to buy those products.

Henry Ford was a great man, but of course the Jew Boys had to diminish him and defame him because Ford understood the threat Jews posed to a healthy America, and said so in print.

Ford also handed out copies of McGuffy's eclectic reader which taught people how to read and used jews as examples of evil.

Iv got a job interview with a company in a week and a half. It’s basically a dream job. If I get it my pay goes up by a factor of five starting off. I only work half the year. It’s laid back work. A laid back work environment. The company treats their workers very well. Im so nervous about it. They’re gonna sit me down with 5 people. I can’t stop stressing about it. The worst part is it’s online

Pro tip, drink a beer or take a shot or two before your interview, always calms my nerves and helps.

He also used an unsheathed tongue against big nose. Hey, look at us agreeing on things. I will say, though, that once automation is flourishing, we won't really need so many middle class people.

Why do you think that? Automation should replace the low paid workers.

Well, there's still a need that will be present, but if automation builds up then it'll leave more room for leisure time, which is how we get various types of innovation. We should all want more leisure time and although it might seem counter-intuitive to promote entrepreneurial ideas while also advocating for more leisure time, I can assure you it isn't. What we really want is to maintain production and basic tiers of service. We can compensate to varying extents in both of those areas with automation, but there will be gaps left for at least a few decades. Ultimately, this should be pushing people more toward innovation in areas that thrive on Entrepreneurship: Entertainment, Technology, Finance, Advertisement (which is, like it or not, crucial to Capitalism), Medicine and eventually Spirituality. I'm sure I'm I'm just scratching the surface too.

I think it's helpful to reframe the "they'll take our jobs" vantage point of automation. Not having a surplus of jobs isn't exactly what we should fear. We're seeing a symptom, not a cause. Instead, our problem is more like being invaded slowly under the guise of "immigration". That's what's really threatening unemployment rates. We need automation for leisure time, which increases contentment, peer bonding and innovation, among other things. It certainly isn't a bad thing... unless, of course, your country is being invaded. Just don't forget we still need programmers, maintenance guys and more things that won't immediately come to me.

But Ford liked Hitler and all jewish media told us Hitler was a bad person regardless that there is no actual evidence to prove this.
