Why Obama is wrong about immigration! Topic

Some of the jobs are more of paying $12. And the productivity will go up. Americans are some of the most productive workers.

"The productivity figure is found by dividing the country's gross domestic product by the number of people employed"


Is it possible to have a worse way to determine productivity?  I don't think so.

OK. Whats your basis for we suck?
5/15/2011 6:49 PM
I didn't say we sucked.  It's just that our work ethic, as a country, is horrible.

Can you document this in some way?

I provided a report, that some people rejected, that said we were great.

Can you provide any non-anecdotal evidence that our productivity sucks?

This website.  How many people do you think check in while at work?   Does that sound productive to you?

That sounds anecdotal.

Can you provide any evidence that Americans are not some of the most productive workers in the world?

Sorry but my report said we were productive compared to the world.

All you did was post articles about sports and estimates on productivity lost. Are you implying that the rest of the world doesnt watch sports?

So even though you seemt o believe it, you cannot produce one shred of evidence that we are not productive? 

Maybe you are wrong about this?

Sorry, when US businesses lose billions of dollars and man hours due to a single game, a three week tournament and a 17 week season, I find it hard to defend the work force as "productive" for the other 140 some odd work days each year.  I guess your contention is that they "buckle down" and work their ***** off on those days.

So swamp, how does it feel dealing with someones stubborn point of view?

Actually, let's do some math.  52 weeks in a year.  A standard work week is 5 days.  

260 days.  2-4 weeks vacation(let's just say 3 weeks for simplicity).
245 days.  3-6 paid sick days   We'll say 4.
241 days.  10 Federal holidays(I won't count half days or days before/after the "big" holidays that most companies give off).
231 days.   3 weeks of March Madness.  Filling out brackets, watching games and general chitchat.
216 days.   Super Bowl.   Only counted the one wasted day after, won't bother with the pools and chitchat beforehand.
215 days.   Fantasy football and general football talk.   18 weeks and a month of prep work.
105 days.  

I won't bother counting time workers spend checking TMZ to see what Charlie Sheen said, dicking off on sites like this or surfing porn, the World Cup, baseball, hockey or the NBA.   I'll pretend no one takes a late lunch or shows up late for work.  I'll ignore the fact that people's minds wander even when they're at their desk working or that studies have shown 10% of one's day is spent looking for something they should have at their fingertips.  I'll act as if people not on vacation, taking sick days or holidays, working on NCAA brackets, recovering from Super Bowl hangovers or fixing their fantasy football teams are diligently working for their money.  And I come up with 105 productive days per year.    Fanfuckingtastic.
