South Korean government proposes increase in work week to 69 hours from 52

They're not out of touch. These companies are in politicians pockets basically bribing them to make laws that will benefit them.

Then they try to juelz the regular citizens that the new laws will benefit them/us.

You see it in the US with these pharmaceutical companies. Look how fast cannabis has been made legal once states figured out how they could profit from it

The horror stories I hear about insulin prices forcing diabetics to ration their supply is rage inducing

Those countries are sitting on oil or have agreements with African leaders to exploit African labor for pennies on the dollar.

These other countries don't know how to increase productivity without investing in half of its GDP into robotics and AI.

Them Koreans go HAM, even moreso than the US when it comes to workers' rights and corporate interest.

Any talk about unions is portrayed through the lens of "communist sentiment" and subsequently crushed in violent manner.

As somebody that endured long work hours to the point where I questioned my sanity...I agree with this post.
