Firstly based zoomers.

Secondly, for a good time, compare the wikipedias for the blatantly illegal 996 system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/996_working_hour_system

The actual law:

The State shall practise a working hour system wherein labourers shall work for no more than eight hours a day and no more than 44 hours a week on the average.

Btw the recently disappeared Jack Ma was a huge proponent of 996!

Now lets look at the wikipedia for crunch time, since it’s effectively the same thing but isn’t illegal

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_developer#Crunch_time

It doesn’t even have it’s own page and the whole section is entirely like “it’s Good, Actually”, because the law says they can do it and they uhhh provide food.

Crunch time has been used in the industry but until 2004 was generally not discussed openly. A 2004 survey by the International Game Developers Association (IGDA) found only about 3% of respondents did not work any overtime, and of those that did, nearly half were not compensated for overtime.

Seems like a pretty widespread problem if 97% of surveyed devs were forced to do crunch. They need to take a cue from the zoomers.

Final edit:

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/06/01/japan-has-some-of-the-longest-working-hours-in-the-world-its-trying-to-change.html

Nearly one quarter of Japanese companies require employees to work more than 80 hours of overtime a month, according to a 2016 government survey. Those extra hours are often unpaid.

damn i wonder why China gets singled out for the ILLEGAL labor violations tho

Hey libs? Maybe the reason they won’t vote for you is because you ‘joke’ about withholding access to clean drinking water if they don’t do what you want. Just a thought! :)

Do i believe in Catholisism? No. Do i believe Catholicism as an organized religion is good? Also no. (individual Catholics are cool as long as they aren’t being anti-choice or otherwise reactionary) Am i going to use this to agitate anyway? Hell yes i am

the chad antifa protesters - forms a shield wall with comrades, out there for 100 straight days, regroups after being tear gassed, sets up mutual aid stations, scares the kkkops so much they have to retreat for days, uses a drumline and snappy slogans to keep everyone together and organized

vs the virgin maga protester - runs away from tear gas, has no plans but ‘stand around’, makes excuses for the kkkops who are shooting them, boring slogans like “USA”

I love these articles, i get to tear their little propaganda filled seams open :)

The government is installing more Communist Party officials inside private firms, starving some of credit

won’t someone please think of the CEOs who won’t be getting credit

and demanding executives tailor their businesses to achieve state goals.

this sentence could be written about the USA forcing for example, covid-infected slaughterhouses to remain open so line keeps going up. But it never will be!

The view that state planners are better at running a complex economy has gained currency this year,

dang i wonder what made them think that, unplanned going economies great rn wym

Mr. Xi personally intervened to block the $34 billion initial public offering of one of China’s biggest private firms, Ant Group, partly out of concerns it was too focused on its own profits

This exact sentence could be written about bernie if you swap the nouns out, and probably has

“For us small businesses, we have no choice but to follow the party,” says Li Jun Mr. Li recently closed down a seafood-processing plant because it couldn’t get bank loans

won’t someone please think of the little guy, you know, the ones that own seafood processing plants :sadness:

China’s economy as a result has become less efficient. The amount of capital input needed to generate one unit of economic growth has nearly doubled since 2012

Oh no!!! NOT THE UNDEFINED UNITS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH BECOMING MORE EXPENSIVE! That’s far more important than reducing homelessness!!!

Mr. Xi’s brand of state capitalism, which mixes markets with stepped-up state intervention, has survived a trade war with the U.S. and outperformed free-market economies recently, based on economic growth rates.

:thinkin-lenin: :curious-marx: :xi:

The party committee has directed the company to set aside more funds to help the poor even though the profits of Baowu’s listed arm declined 42% in the previous year. Eliminating poverty is a top political objective of Mr. Xi.

How Nefarious!!! CHINA BAD BECAUSE IT’S MAKING COMPANIES HELP THE POOR

“The market-reform camp is all but gone,” says an economist who advises the government. “By now, it’s pretty clear what kind of reform the top guy really wants.”

Fucking based. Cool, i love China even more now.

My impression of grimes after (accidentally) seeing her tiktoks is she’s just an insecure girl who really wants to be cool/liked. My guess is that teens making fun of her being married to musk actually worked lmfao
