    Switzerland kicks ass. Best cheese. Best chocolate. Best scenery. Prettiest women. Largest drill bits. Spookiest hotels. Scariest mountain passes. Not in a fucking war with someone every 5 years.

    The Swiss work partial days and everything there is super expensive.

    But besides that, the Swiss kick ass.

    Not sure working less is a bad thing. Maybe this Euro trip is fucking with my brain...

    I need to get home, kill an animal, skin it with a rock and my bar hands, eat it raw, then go to a bar in a jacked up pollution spewing Jeep and bang out a bleached blonde slut with no self respect who wears American Flag panties while I sing "America, Fuck Yeah." Afterwards I'll kick her out by punting a football into her face and laugh while sharpening knives and organizing ammo as I watch monster trucks on TV in my sweatpants. Othwerise, I may wake up a faggoty soccer fan in skinny jeans one day. But yeah, the Swiss are lazy.

    On yeah, and one other point of order for OBK, in Europe they all seem to think that Belgians make the best chocolate.

    Mid euros in the USA kick ass too

    HTH.

    Working less isn't a bad thing as long the productivity is there. People all over the world work much less than they did a century or two ago because we have made significant technology advances that so that productivity still grows. Productivity and capital investment drive economic growth, not consumption as many who get their economic education rom the politicians and TV news believe.
    You sure about that?

    Yes, I am 100% sure that we work less ( in hours and physically ) over the last 200 years, while increasing productivity due to advances in technology. Like I said.

    Do you have evidence to the contrary? Because it's not this article.

    Advances in technology that improve efficiency by eliminating jobs, combined with increasing populations can lead to only one thing. War.

    I hope that's a whoosh. If not, w.jw.

    I guess it's time to ban combines and thresh the wheat by hand. #jobcreator.
