The article is kind of all over the place. While it provides no proof that less hours worked means a better economy, it quote some studies that find taking more vacation hours boost productivity and lowers turnover. But to quote The Office:
Jan: How would a movie increase productivity, Michael? How on earth would it do that?
Michael Scott: People work faster after.
Jan: Magically.
Michael Scott: No. They have to, to make up for the time they lost watching the movie.
I work at an engineering consulting firm and it's around that, if not higher. If people work during lunch and then leave an hour later everyday, that's already 50 hours a week.
While that may be true at your town's middle school, university faculty to administrator ratios are different. Western Washington University did some sampling. A graph on page 4 shows that it's about a 1:1 ratio.
As a Chinese American, and not that I can speak for all but I think most share my experience, growing up without English speaking parents meant I wasn't exactly taught eloquence or English social convention. Yet other Asian Americans and I are 3 times over-represented in the STEM fields.
And can you tell me with a straight face that tech workers are hired for their interpersonal skills?
I know I can't for minorities, especially since despite making up 6% of the US population, Asian Americans make up 30% of Google's employees. And that despite making up 71% of the US population, "whites" only make up 61% of Google's employees. In general STEM fields, Asian Americans make up 15% while whites make up 70%.
My conclusion is that certain races are attracted to different fields, Asians moreso to tech, whites are neutral, and other races less so to tech, and that passion contributes to their qualifications. My social commentary is that judging a field by their attractiveness to certain races trivializes the effort those workers put in to go into that line of work, when social pressure prioritizes an innate and unchangeable trait over life choices.
We could sit here and just theorize about what's going to happen but...this is a rare clear cut chance to see the effects of an above estimated living wage minimum wage. Who else is excited? Maybe we can learn from what goes wrong and apply a modified technique to cities with similar demographics?
We're all STEM workers here. Where's the excitement?
Both of you are such wow. It's almost as if the general nature of corrupt people is to steal from others to pay for their own luxury goods regardless of what political stance they represent on their face
If this law is only applicable to Google, aren't the links still accessible from the hosting server and search results from other sites like Yahoo, Bing, or Tor?
"Is that what you want to go back to" straw-man arguments are terrible, FYI. No one's arguing to believe that the world is flat (although it's a myth that people believed it for so long...knowledge that the world was round dated back to Ancient Greece) or that we should keep slaves again. When you bring up those and bash them, you're just arguing with yourself.
Despite advancements in "science and knowledge", I don't think hanging has really changed.

Unfortunately they have no been able to study this yet because, and someone inform Al-Qaeda, this is where the 72 virgins are.

For a few minutes anyway. The signal jammer moves with the guy's car.
Consider this: A driver who does not receive texts will not check their texts.

It's not a car.
That's a cage. That's a car.
Yep that is why they keep me

2. Few will want to work full time at $15, because it will mean that they lose SNAP eligibility.
Assuming they work full time, but I see your point.

I think they replaced the silent J.

That he's providing a monetary incentive at all. People would probably do it for free.
I scrolled down 6 posts before someone affirmed Godwin's Law. New record.
Thanks for the clarification. I was looking for the link between asbestos and mesothelioma, but ignored the relation to lung cancer.
Then again, 90%-95% of asbestos (crystotile) used wasn't carcinogenic, and the remaining 5% of asbestos used was only carcinogenic to smokers.

The cost of capital punishment is high mostly because they're allowed unlimited appeals.
Because it's expensive to house and feed an inmate for the rest of their lives and some violent offenders can't be rehabilitated.
Legality only counts if you're caught or after you've caused an accident.
I see you're still fighting this, so I guess you truly have a different interpretation of what you wrote.
In any case, far be it from me to stand between you and your obsession with feminists.
I'm going to state that "women are frequently toxic" and then pretend I said "some women" and then randomly get angry at feminists
