Thanks

I’m a narcissist. I understand how you feel, I just don’t care.

Doesn’t have to be standard, go work 32 hours. If everyone follows you then you have what you want.

If all of you collectively decide to work less, then that’s simply the reality.

Great for me, my labour becomes more valuable as it just became more scarce.

Oh no, I’m not threatening with violence. I’m just saying I wouldn’t feel any remorse when killing you.

Your life is simply meaningless to me. Like the dead dove I saw on the street on my way home.

Our economy will be fine, it depends on education mostly

Nah I’m just interested in your idea. You claim I don’t love her. Which is entirely interesting to me. A lot more than this post.

Can you make it make sense? Why would I spend so many resources for someone I don’t love?

I can kill you and I wouldn’t care one bit.

But still, I spend 6 years for someone else and am willing to work endlessly for the benefit of her.

Why is that?

That’s not gonna happen. It just makes me move to right. And I used to vote left wing.

Polarisation isn’t a fairy tale, you push people away.

I basically aim to job hop for promotion. I work for large organisations, which enjoy economies of scale. And thus they are able to pay me more than my previous boss earns, who was a small business owner.

I’m not naive. I don’t ask for promotion or anything. They either give it to me or they suffer brain drain.

The biggest cost my organisation suffers is looking for and training new employees.

I don’t have empathy because of a personality disorder or autism. Could be either, I don’t know.

Most people are incapable of living with their parents in the west, so they waste their income on rent and utilities.

We live with 4 adults in one home, so our costs are extremely low and our income is high.

If your parents couldn’t own a house in the 20th century, then that sucks for them. The west was booming.

My parents didn’t go on vacations, they didnt buy luxuries, they just built a house and bought land. The economy around us grew a lot because it’s west Europe. (Capitalism is why)

Why would I waste my time with one person for 6 years if I didn’t love her?

have you stayed with someone for more than 5 years without loving that person?

The pregnancy is recent, so it’s not like I stayed with her because of a child.

Belgium’s population grew from 9 to 11 million in 65 years. My wife’s country Indonesia grew from 80 to 280 million people in 65 years.

Median net wealth of Belgian is 250k euros and in Indonesia it’s 5k euros.

Your perspective is the one that needs to be expanded.

Belgians don’t want kids because they don’t believe in a god. They have pensions even though they don’t have kids.

In Indonesia they are extremely religious, so they think having kids is important. They don’t have meaningful pensions, so they need kids to survive.

You’re quite mistaken.

We don’t have kids because we are financially rewarded to not have kids. I vote against pensions for this reason.

Don’t you know the statistics about single moms? They have the lowest quality of life. You disgusting monkey.

Why wouldn’t I get emotional? You threaten my family.

It’s logical that I get angry at you.

If you lower your working hours to 32 hours per week then this would happen.

Foreign countries their labour will gain in desirability for capital.

Your area will still require the environment to keep you alive, so if you are simply surviving, then it would be a good choice for you.

Now, I live in Belgium. We have a median net worth of 250k euros per adult. We have a lot to lose. If we work less, we simply have less money.

The good thing to do, would be to earn more money. Not work less.

You know how much Indonesians work? Singaporeans? Chinese? They work more than us.

Belgians statistically work only a few hours a week. Do you think our high median net wealth came from nothing?

We work at our property after our hours.

My dad never hired anyone to do anything in the house. He did everything himself. We don’t have a gardener. We do all of it ourselves.

Belgians work part time for themselves.

The truth is that value does not come without labour. Can’t magically lay on the couch and expect value to arise.

Nah because the child isn’t born yet, the money would go to my brother.

If I didn’t love my wife, I would just discard her and be a deadbeat father.

I’m not really wasting resources, my net worth increases every day because I’m the main source of income for my family. If I would die, my wife would have to look for another man.

Men aren’t really interested in raising another guy’s child.

I would kill you without a second’s hesitation if you threaten my child’s well being

Why would it be something that nobody has thought of before? It’s common knowledge that polarisation is a big issue nowadays.

You’re just unwilling to do anything about it.

I support that. Let’s have a meaningful movement. Not to decrease our working hours, but to increase our earnings compared to our productivity.

A part of my job is to calculate the income of the doctors at our hospital.

They earn their income based on their effort. If they do an easy thing, then they earn little money. If they do something more scarce, then they earn more money. They earn money based on how many patients they help. Not based on how many hours they are at the hospital.

I see vast differences between income between doctors. Many of them are fine with working few hours because they earn enough anyways. Other doctors aim at 40k euros income per month. They work a lot.

It’s personal choice.

The work reform movement must include the people that want to work a lot.

People that are satisfied with basic necessities (I’m sad for their children) are fine enough with simple tax and social transfers. They don’t even need to have a job (they are hated by people).

But the people that want to work, need to be paid for their efforts.

That’s fine. Work as much as you want. Just expect your income to accompany your productivity.

My wife works 14 hours a week, if she wants more money then she doesn’t just take it from my account, she just goes and work more.

I put my money in stocks

The money goes to our kid. Not to her luxuries.
