    "It makes sense simply from a psychological perspective that if a person is happier, they are generally going to be more productive than someone who is similarly employed, but is always stressed about finances."

    I wonder if you accept arguments from people who disagree with you and say that it "simply makes sense"?

    It's a nice dream, but experience shows that this never actually happens. Bureaucracies grow, they don't disappear.

    Same here. I only stand about 10 minutes an hour, but experience has shown that even that amount of unwinding from the sitting position has been VERY positive for my lower back.
