cm0002Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says Americans need to make work / life ‘tradeoffs’ to compete with China.
spaghettiwesternSays 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.
seahorse [Ohio]I don’t want to compete with china
TropicalDingdongI just want cheep solar panels and EV"s
Sounds like someone needs the threat of poverty to coerce their compliance…
Because you know you can’t win.
Crazy how Americans’ rhetoric changes when they start losing to a more-communist nation.
No, because I know that “my country winning” in some imaginary billionaire dick waving competition is not something I give a shit about.
Your sacrifice is worth the rich’s reward.
infinitevalenceNo we don’t
grrgyleWhy are we competing with other humans? It’s not like they’re some alien invaders from another planet. Let’s work together to kill all the billionaires. 🥹
I don’t want to kill them, I just want to strip them of their stolen wealth, and reshape society to instinctively treat such aggressively self-righteous assholes as the true “undesirables.”
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
Or maybe American executives need to stop taking exorbitant compensation packages that needlessly raise prices.
The 40 hour workweek is something that people LITERALLY fought and DIED for
The New Deal Was The Compromise
Yeah the New Deal was to prevent the socialist revolution

Funny how the workers need to make these sacrifices, and not the corporations; yet the benefits go to the CEO's and shareholders and corporations, but not the workers.
Fuck you, pay me.
For real, just the other day I saw a post about how it’s getting more difficult to find tech jobs now. Seems like the companies should be the ones to hire more people if they want to compete with china rather than the workers sacrificing work-life balance.
jontree255Says man who doesn’t do fuck all to make a living
ShaggySnacksWhat Dipshit Eric Schmidt meant was that American workers should do 7107. 7 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week.
Those shareholders need to see profit.
Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt should look up what a Pyrrhic Victory is
He’ll start a company called Pyrrhic and get to work monetizing the “victorygret” market.
Fuck America
CarbonIceDragonTradeoffs in the opposite direction from what he is thinking maybe. China has an extremely low fertility rate that will inevitably burden their economy as time goes on, and the US’s population is only stable because of immigration. We can’t simply outwork a country with several times the population we have to draw a workforce from, and so overextracting human labor at a rate that leaves people too exhausted or busy to desire a family is just going to result in an even more constrained labor pool in the future. I’d be willing to bet that we’d actually eventually have a stronger economy in the decades to come if we were to collectively do less work.
Eric Schmidt needs to fuck off and die
I, for one, don’t want to compete with slave labor
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?
TacoButtPlugI’d rather watch Eric get his ass beat on cam.
Or the people at the top should be forced to accept less profit.
