Draconian vacation policies for US slave workers
Following up to Tchiowa
what you probably don't get is that that lifestyle isnt supportable. We need to consume less, work less and pollute less, its not really anything to do with what I think is useless. Consume less, maybe. definitely Work less, absolutely not. That's the kind of thinking that destroys civilizations. We have to move from using productivity to create more stuff and pollution to using productivity to achieve efficiency and low pollution. We have to slow down, air travel alone threatens to destroy us if we allow it to grow as predicted. And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. across the world it isn't, so unless you aim to find a way of stopping the new economies moving forward towards western levels, you have a problem. People have been saying the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep improving. the future will prove you wrong, hopefully you will come to see your mistake as a country before its too late for everybody.. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

Any lifestyle is supportable if the population is not allowed to expand out of control. to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have to start falling fast. -- Mike Reid Walk-eat-photos UK "http://www.fellwalk.co.uk" -- you can email us@ this site Walk-eat-photos Spain "http://www.fell-walker.co.uk" -- dontuse@ all, it's a spamtrap |

There isn't any reason why human population must perpetually increase. And if it does perpetually increase, eventually everyone will starve under the most dire conditions, since the resources of the planet are finite. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |

I wonder if France will demonstrate its vaunted medical care system and the high quality of life again this summer when hundreds or thousands die because of the heat and the hospitals can't cope with treating them. |

The health care system isn't the part that has to change. The country needs to start installing air conditioning. -- Transpose mxsmanic and gmail to reach me by e-mail. |
