Steinbeck Posts: 115 Incept: 2009-03-04	Umm, that makes no sense to me. If I own a Gyro shop and have no customers coming in (because no one has any money), then what sense does it make to stay open longer? It's the freakin' PRIVATE sector! If they were able to make more money by working longer hours; I'm pretty sure they would be doing it already. Talk about ignoring the law of diminshing returns... Greeks need to go Icelandic. Wait, on second thought; the entire world needs to follow Iceland's lead! 2012-09-04 12:46:01 Permalink

PRIVATE sector? ** that *. ---------- And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night.

I can imagine the response from the people. ---------- When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.

Obseedian Posts: 11872 Incept: 2007-07-26 BBRY Central	Work 6 days a week doing what, exactly? Is there so much work piling up that they can't find people to hire to do the work? Did unemployment suddenly drop to 0%, and if it did, why did we not hear about it? Idiots. ---------- Would you give your money to these banks? http://bankimplode.com/list/troubledbank.... �Those who vote decide nothing.

Krzelune Posts: 5513 Incept: 2007-10-08	I think they should work 8 days a week. ---------- The desire of millions, the inconvenience of millions, the suffering of millions, the death of millions, does not concern them because of the evolutionary humanist lens they peer through. 2012-09-04 18:58:46 Permalink

Mikek31 Posts: 4357 Incept: 2009-05-04 Chicago	What the email really meant, is to work for them 6 days a week. That means things like sweeping up the floors of banks, shining shoes, landscaping the bankster/statist mansions, and performing other, more obscene acts like sucking cock. That's what we've been doing for years; this "confidential" letter just makes it explicit, which means the elites are scrambling to hold on to their posh lifestyles and avoid guillotines. ---------- Intentional manipulation of markets is usually thought of as a crime, not a benefit, and should lead to indictments, not praise. -Karl 2012-09-04 20:18:34 Permalink
Standby Posts: 1005 Incept: 2009-08-06	The commies would make the private sector work an extra day so the leeches can continue their looting. 2012-09-05 00:49:02 Permalink
Howie Posts: 4848 Incept: 2007-11-02 Wilmington, DE Online	Do Greeks even work 3 days a week now? ---------- "Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a moneyed aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power (of money) should be taken away from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs." - Thomas Jefferson 2012-09-05 07:26:16 Permalink
Pika-steph Posts: 54732 Incept: 2007-09-11 Live Free Or Die; US Army Est. 1775	I think the idea is to cut out the middle-man. Work directly for the bankers. ---------- Stop the Looting; Start Prosecuting - http://www.FedUpUSA.org/ "The only regulation that really works is failure."--Rick Santelli 2012-09-05 09:06:02 Permalink
Nomullet Posts: 6823 Incept: 2007-11-11 SW	I always thought cutting govmt salaries 20% by going to 4 day work weeks was an easy sell. Nobody does anything on Friday anyway. ---------- Don't confuse clear thinking with simplistic thinking. --Nomullet 2012-09-05 10:18:59 Permalink
Nuke_engineer Posts: 2700 Incept: 2007-08-19	It's all about an overt test in controlling people and their lives, not about common sense or the economics of work in public versus private sector, etc. If they can scare the Greeks into working 6 day weeks, they can control them forever in every aspect of their lives. ---------- Trading and investing is understanding about people, emotions and corruption of government, corporations, banks and people using propaganda, lies, mathematics and bankster logic working against you. 2012-09-05 10:31:24 Permalink
