Nothing to do with me - I'm still working on the old system. It's the replacement (which does about 1/3 of what's needed) that they can't get up and running in less than two years...Originally posted by FatLazyContractor View PostWhat was your contribution for that?

Here's another bright idea for the reform of capitalism: in the winter, let people work a three hour day, so they still get to enjoy some of the limited sunlight hours. Then, come springtime, they'll all have realised that most of the work is a complete waste of time and never needed doing anyway, so let them carry on working a three hour day
All this for full wages, of course. Those rich bastards who own everything can easily afford it.Comment

Hell no! I'd say work 12 hour days during the winter because it's too fecking cold out there to do anything anyway. Then take the entire summer offOriginally posted by NickFitz View PostHere's another bright idea for the reform of capitalism: in the winter, let people work a three hour day, so they still get to enjoy some of the limited sunlight hours.

I think we could compromise on three hour days in winter, and all summer offOriginally posted by Bunk View PostHell no! I'd say work 12 hour days during the winter because it's too fecking cold out there to do anything anyway. Then take the entire summer off
