There were studies a while back to determine how many productive hours people generally have in office jobs and it’s something like less than half the working day. 3-4 hours max. The rest are just socializing and being extremely inefficient.

Imagine being a Japanese worker spending 3 hours being productive and the other 7-8 hours basically wasting away your life with no time left for romantic relationships.

It's an issue from every angle, and policy makers are too blind to it.

Definitely a contributing factor causing the global population decline, and of course the biggest hypocrite on The Issue is Elon Musk while his companies have 40 to 80 hour work days, reduced parental leave, and cover abortions.

It's a combination of factors of course, social changes due to the internet, and "progressivism", jobs market screwry (jobs don't provide necessities anymore, good jobs are hard to find if not non-existent, and fake jobs, etc.), debt, inflation, and taxes, so in a way individuals, companies/corporations, and governments are all to blame.

Also jobs are less stable and all the hopping between must also add a lot of stress.

I think job hopping is a byproduct of companies not investing into its employees, and reduced quality for customers, companies seek profits over the well being of others.

And while profit is good, profit for profits sake by any means possible is bad, profit should derive from valued labor producing valuable products for valued customers, not miserable employees producing subpar products while customers are upset about a product that last as long as a modern marriage.

I think it’s all a byproduct of the fiat system. Poor values propagating throughout society.

Jordan S 1y ago

A lot of the modern illnesses go hand in hand but I agree Fiat is probably one of the primary crux, or dam that clogs up the flow way of natural behaviors.

Without sick money, I think all other things considered the natural order would start to arrange itself, and things could heal again.
