    an even bigger argument for more holidays

    (remember: “the economy” == “rich people’s yacht money”)

      The “breadcrumbs that fall off the table” of people with high incomes are the only thing that the majority of us is living on, unfortunately. I would rather the economy didn’t collapse right now.

            • the poorest already pay for it, the bootlicking “canceling of winter holidays” will not improve things one iota
            • your only reward for your hard work will be more hard work, the bosses won’t increase your pay because they now know you’re a pushover and they will use that knowledge to exploit you even further
            • your willingness to be a “good worker” and take on holiday hours won’t induce them to have a holiday miracle and suddenly remember to pay you all the back wages they’ve stolen from you

        Nah, the scraps on my plate after they stole my dinner is all we’re surviving on.

        The money doesn’t magically appear from above, it’s taken from below.
