Easy for a guy who never has to work another day in life to suggest other people need to change their work / life balance. What Forbes calls China’s “cutthroat work culture,” of 996 (9AM to 9PM, six days a week) others simply call human rights abuse. [Media: https://youtu.be/EkuVqdj8O6E?t=193]

      Sounds like someone needs the threat of poverty to coerce their compliance…

    Says another guy who probably has staff to cut his toenails.

    It’s inspiring how giving and generous the rich are with other people’s lives.

    Or maybe American executives need to stop taking exorbitant compensation packages that needlessly raise prices.

    I bet China has a search engine that still kinda works. We have broken and censored search. Maybe Google CEO Eric Schmidt should look into the broken search part now that he’s got the censorship thing figured out. You put in some 80 hour weeks to get it done, lazy prick

    You think the American worker would compete better if CEOs didn’t make quite so much money Eric? If that money was spread out a little bit?

      He’ll start a company called Pyrrhic and get to work monetizing the “victorygret” market.
