Itās both hilarious and telling that boomers now find their own generationās name to be an insult.

Kim Jong Un, surely.
The moral thing to do in the case of a Hitler or a Kim Jung-Un is to act in a way thatās best for the victims, and in the cases of North Korea and Nazi Germany those actions could not be more different.
Pol Pot led a genocide that killed a quarter of Cambodiaās population. He is like the only one I consider comparable to Hitler, just Hitler was in a better position to do more damage.
Though Stalin and Idi Amin arenāt far behind
We supported the Khmer Rouge before and after the atrocities were well known and of course dropped 2.7 million tons of bombs (a million more than we dropped on Japan including the atomic bombs) on Cambodia which brought about the conditions that gave rise to the Khmer Rouge and certainly places Nixon in the discussion of worst villains of history up there with Pol Pot. (And that doesnāt count Vietnam or Laos.)
Soā¦Nixon.

I knew when saying it it may land but I wanted to see how much they read the BS 
And at the time I started laughing straight away saying its a joke, yāall took that way to seriously and turned it, luckily 
My parents be the same, classic Boomer but do a shit ton of work(sorry for the language) in the community and vote the correct way, even though my mum hates the leader of the party. 
Weāve got her nailed down now.

This country was founded on slavery and genocide, and lying about it to ourselves. All the presidents who presided over slavery and Indian genocide are in the evil pantheon. Special shoutout to McKinley for the Philippine War.
Itās pretty much all just law of the jungle, might makes right, then rewrite history when itās over.

But in some places, the four-day concept is taking off like a viral meme. Many employers arenāt just moving to 10-hour shifts, four days a week, as companies like Shake Shack are doing; theyāre going to a 32-hour week ā without cutting pay. In exchange, employers are asking their workers to get their jobs done in a compressed amount of time.
Last month, a Washington state senator introduced a bill to reduce the standard workweek to 32 hours. Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev is backing a parliamentary proposal to shift to a four-day week. Politicians in Britain and Finland are considering something similar.
It is time for this.

You ever seen the movie, āThe Killing Fields?ā
Goat Triumphant at the end, when one of the protagonists summits a ridgeline near the Cambodian/Thai border, and looks down to see Red Cross emplacements in the distance.
Mao, Charles Taylor, Bashar Al Asaad, there are more Iām sure. These plus the others people listed here.
Favorite American Idol cover/performance by a contestant would be a pretty decent walrus category mebbe. Itās fun to dump on the show, but some performances have been great.

Lol the jarring nature of the LC thread. 
From genocide to American idol in one move.
We had a company wide crowdsourcing event this month and the 4 day work week was one of the top āupvotedā ideas that the employees put forward.
It makes a ton of sense. Last year I didnāt use up much of my vacation and toward the end of the year I ended up taking off every Friday. I donāt think my productivity went down at all.

I can get my āweeks workā done by Monday afternoon if I donāt procrastinate. Then I have to put so much effort into parcelling it out over the week so I donāt set a precident and get assigned more work. Thereās zero incentive to do things quickly only to be at your desk for 8 hours.

Iām not surprised and I suspect this is pretty widespread. I used to think I had too much work until I started skipping meetings. Thereās a lot of fat in the work day that can be cut, and moving to a 4 day week would help with that. When people have to compress they will naturally cull the least productive activities, which in my experience is status updates and ācheck inā meetings.
