Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
not remotely what you are saying.
When I work 8 hours, there are absolutely a few hours I am most productive.
Not remotely the same as “the most productive people work less hours”
The most productive people work more hours.
People are most productive during a subset of those hours they are on the job.

Then explain why Germans work fewer hours than the Greeks.nmoore63 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:58 pmnot remotely what you are saying.

Greeks are more productive? Germans are lazy?

Because 74% of working age Germans have jobs and only 52% of Greeks.
Greeks are lazier under your definition.
It just looks like more because more and more of the lazy Greeks drop out entirely.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
Can we all agree that if, say a German furniture factory can manufacture and ship out more high quality furniture products than its Greek competitor during one hour, the German company is the more time efficient one? I'd call that being more productive, too, but what else would you guys call it?
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

No, you said more productive people spend less time doing things.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:06 pmYou realise you just made my point for me, don't you?The Conservative wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:00 pmYou spend more hours getting better to produce more in a lesser set of time. Those who are successful can afford to spend less time doing things because they already spent countless hours getting good in the first place.

That’s a falicy. They spend les time doing things becaruse they already spent more time getting good at it.
You don’t get good without spending more time than normal at something. Which means... what you said is wrong.
Shocker, I know.

Re: Europe, Boring Until it's Not
I already explained this to you. Factor in the fat ZERO that about 20% of the able workforce puts in each week, and the average workweek for Greece ain't all that great. The more people who can work but do not, the more people who do work work more.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 9:06 pmThen explain why Germans work fewer hours than the Greeks.nmoore63 wrote: ↑Mon Dec 10, 2018 8:58 pmnot remotely what you are saying.

Well that explains why you can’t figure out that hard work up front means you put in less work later.Montegriffo wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 5:33 amThe Conservative wrote: ↑Tue Dec 11, 2018 4:33 amNo, you said more productive people spend less time doing things.

What you can’t figure out is that just because you work less-hard at something while producing more doesn’t mean you go home early in the US.
That is why the US is where it is, and England is kicking the can down the road for responsibility and bending over and take it up the ass by the EU happily.
