Default Draconian vacation policies for US slave workers

Following up to Tchiowa

unfounded assertions snipped.

interestingly, we had a couple of Texans over for diner last
night, its quite interesting to hear reality about the US health
system, its high costs, the people who fall through the ever
widening cracks (quote), the lack of cover for long term existing
conditions etc ..........and the two or at best three weeks
vacation they had in the States.
On global warming denial they just shook their heads, obviously
opinions like "tchiowas" are common enough over there.

Following up to Tchiowa

Mike was implying precisely nothing of the sort, and you know it.


No,


You do know it, or should.

his phrasing was quite specific.


LOL I suppose you think to "beat" someone in a race you have to
attack them? The reason I'm not bothering with you anymore is
that you style of argument is absurd.

You forgetting your European buddies Hitler and Stalin?


Citing Hitler ends the thread, no?


Well, nobody was called a Nazi, so it probably only indicates it
will happen soon.

Following up to Stan de SD

what you probably don't get is that that lifestyle isnt
supportable. We need to consume less, work less and pollute less,


Who are you to decide what others need to do?


I'm someone who listens to what experts say rather than what is
comfortable to believe.

Following up to Stan de SD

to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have
to start falling fast.


Funny, but a lot of those people have been coming across the globe to the US
to work, and be part of that lifestyle.


nobody said otherwise, the attractiveness of a materialistic
lifestyle says nothing about its sustainability.

Well, as for lawyers, when they submit briefings they don't refer to a
recollection of something read once upon atime They cite specific
cases which are on-point.


Do they also do this when giving clients legal advice?


Dammed right they do, failure to do so leaves them open
to a malpractise suit.

If they relied on some vague assertion,
absent any actual citation to legal authority, either statute or case
law, they'd be sure to have their argument rejected.


Lawyers make such assertions all the time.


Those that do lose their cases and clients

Well we won't have to worry about that because at the current
comparative rates of growth it will take China most of a century to
catch up to the US.


Actually, at current rates, it will overtake the United States by
2034, in far less than one century.

China is growing at an annual rate of 9.9%; the USA is growing at an
annual rate of 3.5%. The USA has a GDP of $12.49 trillion; China has
a GDP of $2.225 trillion. It will thus take China 27.8 years to
overtake the United States. There is good reason to believe that the
actual time will be less, since the growth rate of China is
increasing.


If you assume such a growth rate is sustainable. That seems unlikely.
China has maxed out its coal production and is already buying
just about all the oil on the spot market. Since Chinese growth depends
critically on energy availability I seriously doubt it can be sustained at
current levels let alone increased.

Default Heating, cooling, and popular delusions and manias

Following up to nobody

But outside, it works the other way: it
takes more heat to heat moist air than to heat dry air. So when moist
cold outside air reaches infiltrates your clothes, it saps more heat
from you, hence you feel colder.


I suspect the biggest factor in the field is moisture degrading
insulation, Its much easier to stay warm below zero than just
above it, where in the winter hills there will either cloud or
rain present for a lot of the time.

Following up to nobody

It depends on where the air came from.

If it comes from the south, it will start off hot and loaded with
humidity, and as it travels north, it cools down, reaches 100% relative
humitity, so air at -5 is likely to have come from the south and thus
more humid.


in the UK its going to be rare to get southern air at -5, its
usually only -5 with northrlies or eadterlies. In the english
lake district you appear to get more rain on the western hills,
but more snow on the eatern hills

Right, 100% of not much.


Correct. But what REALLY matters when air comes in contact with your
skin is whether it has spare capacity to absorb any of the moisture on
your skin or not. Air at 100% relative humidity will not absolb any more
water, so water does not evaporate and stays as water on your skin.


good point.
