    Alright. I was thinking about bank holidays here in Sweden. They’re generally off days for all workers here. You can choose to work, it’s not like everything is closed. But that’s a voluntary thing that your employer can’t force you to do, and which is handsomely compensated on account of it being a bank holiday. So people in the hospitality sector for example generally seem to like these shifts and there’s no shortage of volunteers to cover them. This is yet another area where the US system is raping US workers it seems.

      American elites got a slaver culture so they would never do this:

      which is handsomely compensated on account of it being a bank holiday

      A practical solution that works magic to resolve the issue.

      But why would a slave owner use a carrot when he can use the stick? Even if the stick doesn’t work, at least it is fun ;)
