Quote:American healthcare is the best in the world if you are very rich and can afford the best care available. Its health outcomes are poor for those at the bottom of the pile though where the socialised care model is superior.


I get 33 paid days holiday in Australia used to be about 36 in UK (including public holiday) how's that compare to your average office worker there? Or am I mistaken?

 

What is average? Because if we're just using our experiences, then I get no less than 25 days a year and I only work 4 days a week. That doesn't include sick leave where I have 400+ hours built up.

 

 

Quote:Or you could just pay your employees a reasonable wage to live on rather than exploiting them for your own personal gain?


Not everyone can be a business owner orwho would work for them. It's not like everyone is born equal and can afford the same schooling and networks

 

Reasonable wage? What's reasonable? Are we going to pay the kid straight out of high school 25k - 30k? Because that's what's going to happen if you get a job at McDonald's with the idea that you should earn a decent income. These jobs were never meant to be a full-time gig for adults with responsibilities. The company will not suffer the cost, however. When you pay these people that kind of money, you'll soon find that burgers run $10, or they'll be out of a job and replaced by machines that can do a better job.
