It was a job. $65 an hour plus expenses. Why did I do it? For money, which in the USA can be exchanged for goods &services. I was part of a couple efforts to form unions and then years later, was paid to assist in anti-union work.Don't know; I'm not a European.Something is telling you falsehoods.You are posting wild assumptions about the US workforce which clearly have no basis in fact. I'm just trying to help you understand.Again, you don't seem to grasp the circumstances existing in the USA as opposed to wherever you live. Politics has nothing to do with it. Until you grasp these basics, you really aren't making much sense.Sure. Its not a complex business.Perhaps if the USA wasn't a free nation, things would indeed be different. But we are, and we've made our choices. You have a lot to learn about different cultures.It seems relevant because you don't understand the culture and systems involved.What problems, really? You've got an openly disgruntled employing stating his opinion about a former employer. Hardly a scathing indictment of a economy serving 300 million people.You may not care why companies exist, but without the investment of capitol, there will be no company and no workers. Whether small countries with different cultures, climates, and geo-economic concerns do things differently is hardly a basis of comparison.Ah, in the USA, yes, they do in fact NEED to generate a profit. Again, economics 101.A little late to say that. Automation has had unrivaled success in countless industries here.It is actually that simple here. Again, you're trying to judge a different culture without knowledge.I don't claim to be familar with the Irish economy. Just as it is obvious you don't understand the USA.Perhaps in a small economy such as Ireland, but in the USA? You can keep the jobs filled for years; again, Amazon warehousing being a single example among hundreds.Pazio's bottom line is public record. I've been a gamer for decades, and so I am much more aware of what US gamers (as another thread here pointed out), who are the majority, are likely to do; particularly how they would react to a surge in book prices forced by higher wages. To build o that, there are numerous threads here in which the question of what people would pay for RPG products have been explored. Why would I care about bridging anything between us? This is a casual discussion between strangers. Again, and still: you don't understand much about the USA, be it culture or economy. You are mixing false impressions with wishful thinking.</blockquote>
