I wish when governments said they want to be competitive with China they did like the one thing China does that would raise our quality of life. As in make trains.
People: Can we have competitive with china [trains]?
Governments: we have Competitive with china at home.
Competitive with china at home: Low wages and no labor rights.
China: working from 9 to 9 six days a week, with lower wages
And there are some Americans working similarly because they have rent to pay
So you’re saying they are getting paid for overtime
Probably working 2 jobs without OT
Chinese only get one salary and still expected to work that much
In the US it’s usually 2 part time jobs or 1 ft and 1 or or 1 ft and gigs. Regardless the idea isn’t that they make enough with one job and get spending money from the other. It’s basically that you need to make as much as the top 15% of earners in the US to be ok in most areas. So we work as hard as we can to survive
