Look at me for example, I do more than 9 hours a day most weeks. I did 15 hours one day this week and 12 the next. Crazy stuff. I know that we're nothing compared to Japanese who actually sleep at their jobs.

Do you think this country is overworked?

my dad has been average 50+ hours a week for probably 25 years now. So yes, I agree.

HELL YA.

I'd love to know who agreed on a 5 day work week. Wheres the fairness at there?

We should work 4, be off 3.

Something tells me the Federal Reserve had something to do with this too lol.

We are a nation full of debt slaves.

Americans are worked only as much as they want. Most of us could easily downsize our housing, car, cable, internet, restaurant visits, et cetera. We simply value those things more than we value working fewer hours

Ugh, that reminds me. Got an email from my boss on Friday night, he needs some reports by Monday 9am. Guess that means I'm working tonight.

Here it seems that we live to work. In many other countries they work to live.

Interesting topic. My answer is "yes" we work too much but it seems we a good percentage are either completely unemployed or (the other extreme) working two jobs to make ends meet.

i meet alot of these type's of people while working. and the worst part about is alot of them have 'we deserve it' attitude's. lol...i don't mind helping those who are physically able to work or handicapped, but the rest of them are the lazy cockroaches that make it harder on everyone else....had a lady the other day tell me 'we need to make sure to re-elect obama so the republican's don't take away the new health care for the sake of all the kid's'...lol...i asked her if she thought it would be better if ea state was in charge of their own 'health care' plan rather than the fed govt? i know in mich that their is already med coverage help for those who can't afford it on their own. the lady wasn't sure what to say and said that 'somthing need's to be done'. doesn't the state of mass have their own govt run health care program that has completely failed? don't recall which n eastern st it is for sure, but somewhat remember one of them ruining their system they had in place...

Completely true. Don't see a problem with that at all.

It's Mass that has their own health system. It's a piece of shit system that is bleeding this state dry. It's pretty much the same as Obama is going to have for his and we will go broke and get shit care.

Costs have gone up to the point that it is not feasible anymore. The state does not want to pay for anything to the insurance companies so the insurance companies are suing the state to pay them
a viable rate.. It's a complete clusterfuck joke. It needs to go away...

All the same things that Obama is saying about his plan was said about this plan and costs have skyrocketed while care has gone down...
