Sex & Shenanigans

I saw on the news that… I think it’s .. Germany? … anyhow.. they are switching to a 6 day work week. Like fuck the fuck off.
It's Greece, and while it's a draconic situation, they kinda brought it on themselves. Greece was close to a full systemic collapse, almost a failed state, brought on primarily by their distaste of working. I get it, I truly truly do, but there comes a point where the country can't sustain a population that's churning out babies to retire early.

They had some kind of rule that if you had X amount of babies, you could retire. Like 6 kids by the age of 25 and the state had to fund you for the rest of your life.

Also prior to the financial crisis of 2008 they had the highest public pension of any state in the EU, letting people retire normally in their early 50s.

Like, yeah... I get it. I hate working. I fucking loathe it. But they were spending trillions they didn't have, and the blowback from that has been felt over the past 15 years and will be felt for decades to come.

I read that one reason for the problems in Greece was they didn't collect the taxes very well. 6 kids brings to mind the Amish, they have large families usually well over 6. They need the kids to help on the farms. I worked on my uncles farm, my parents wanted rid of me during the summer :) .

Thanks for clarifying … I only caught a snippet of it on my morning news where the news was wondering if Canada would adopt the same policy.
