I know this will sound selfish (to make it about Denmark, apologies), but that's pretty much what the Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederiksen used as an excuse to remove one of Denmarks holidays: "The assembly lines runs 24/7 in Russia".
It feels like we're involved in perpetual war just to ensure that the improved productivity isn't paid back to workers in the form of more leisure time or pay. No, that surplus has to go to the war effort! There is a hint of 1984 to it: "We've always been at war with Eastasia.".
That's not to say I don't support Ukraine. But I am also mindful of the fact that the war is being used as a stick as well.
So this only applies for military related jobs, right?
... right?
The removal of the holiday? No that was for all of Denmark.
War as an industry innovated, did some hostile takeovers. Now even your prospects of acquiring shelter for the night are considered part of war effort.
Damnit Clauswitz.
Iβll jump on the Danish wagon and tell about our extra high power prices some days ago because Germany. France and Spain was using airconditioning so much in the evening, while the solar power production was going down with the setting sun. Donβt they know that I need to pay extra for their cool enjoyment?
