Or are you saying you didn't negotiate a good contact
Management is aware of who negotiates hard. When it comes time for annual review and raises, Mr. Hard Negotiator will be offered less and end up getting no more than what he would have gotten if he weren't an asshole.
There is only one modernized country in the world that does that something stupid [no universal government health care] though, and they are only 4% of the world's population.
They (the US) are the most successful country that has ever existed. Not so stupid.
I was going to say that, but reading your post inspired me to check wikipedia.
Thomson has gone through many changes of form and ownership, including "nationalization" (theft) by the French government. Thomson was formed in the United States, and is now primarily British and no longer named Thomson.
In summary: The US, France, and Germany are close to equally productive (money per hour), but Germany and especially the US make more (dollars per person) because they work more hours.
"Work smarter not harder" is management jargon designed to make employees feel guilty and inadequate. It has no meaning, and if you ask someone who demands that you "work smarter not harder" what he means that you don't already do, you'll get no intelligible answer.
Sure there's more, but productivity is tremendously important. Higher productivity allows more results for the same time and effort, or the same results for less time and effort. That's we want, right? More stuff and/or more free time?
Looked at from the negative side, low productivity means wasting human time and effort, wasting human life.
Socialism is a system of government. Socialism is not voluntary. Socialism is not "being nice to people." Socialism is organized, legalized, armed robbery perpetrated by people who tell you they're doing you a favor.
There are reasonably priced cameras that fit in a shirt pocket so that you can have it available at all times. With larger sensors than a phone-cam and large optical zoom range, they are capable of results far better than a phone-cam and about 2/3 the quality of a top-line DSLR.
Any guesses as to where food is most likely to be coated with pesticides? A roadside farmstand, where those fresh picked vegetables come straight from the field to dusty bushel baskets, unwashed.
I see a problem here. There are 7 people in the photo (8 if the person in the bear costume is counted), and 6 people named in the caption. How did your mathematical ability get you to a total of 5?
Native Americans... those peaceful believers in human rights.
Are you ignorant or malicious?
There were a wide variety of native American cultures. Some quickly integrated into Western culture. Of the others, some were nasty and some were fairly decent.
Religious belief in the USA is in a fairly steady very long term decline. Inevitably (perhaps 500 years) it's going to die out, because it's demonstrably wrong and clearly self-destructive.
In the absence of political interference, China will become the great force of scientific advancement for 2 simple reasons: they have 3 time the population of the US and an average IQ advantage of about 7 points.
OK, I read TFA. The camps are bad, but they're nowhere near as bad as Hitler's concentration camps. They are not death camps, they're not lifetime imprisonment. They're anti-Muslim "re-education" camps, particularly anti-extreme-Muslim, and apparently there's also some job training going on.
To summarize: it's not Hitler level evil, it's modern communist level evil.
Jesus was all about sacrifice for the greater good.
It is official doctrine of Roman Catholicism and many Protestant sects that it is belief in God and the divinity of Jesus that makes someone a Christian, not good works.
On a related note, sacrifice is self-destruction, inherently a part of most evil.
In 1884, over 20 years before the Ford Model T, Thomas Parker built the first practical production electric car in London in 1884, using his own specially designed high-capacity rechargeable batteries. (wikipedia)

Communism is brutal dictatorship disguised as Social Justice. It appeals to fools and villains.
It takes a genuine fool to turn a friend into an enemy, yet that's what labor unions try to do every day.

Here's some data related to your claim. http://piketty.blog.lemonde.fr/2017/01/09/of-productivity-in-france-and-in-germany/. Note that the blog post is January 2017 for data ending in 2015, and that the publication is French.

When I was working I never checked email. Why? I was too busy working to check email.

If that were true, slave systems would be more productive than capitalist systems. They're not.
Wise people understand that you get out of life what you put into it.
You have no understanding of what most managers do and what they have to put up with.
When was the standard tip ever 10%? In 1960 in the US the tip for average service was 15%.
At a restaurant you can read while waiting. If you're cooking for yourself, reading is not an option.
Wikipedia says the Falcon 9 uses liquid oxygen and kerosene.
The feds regulate launches that take place in the US..
