No, but its very annoying how the French always say 'win' about salaries.
Walternitty, you have to realize, surely, that incompetence is the way of the world - and becoming ever more so as the doers of society are kept at such a low ebb of subsistence that their performance suffers greatly.
One has no doubt that technical courses for working men in say Michigan in the 1950s and 60s heyday of unionism and Keynesian economics would have been enormously superior to anything offered now in the benighted wastes of neoliberalism such as Oklahoma.
Lol, it's really funny to hear this. Firstly, it's really untrue. During Jospin-era, we, French, accepted to win less in order to work less. Before "Aubry law": we worked (legally) 39 hours, and we were paid for 39 hours. After this law, we worked 35 hours, and we were paid for 35 hours. So a salary decrease, but less work. Secondly, I think it's really hypocritical to hear this by an american. And I suppose I don't have to explain why
. And thirdly, in my first post, I just made a Bushie reference, he said few days or few weeks ago he would win 40 000 dollards a year after CAD.
I think you misunderstand: No one in the United States uses "win" with money in the same manner in which you do. Here, it generally means you have emerged victorious from a contest.
You win $40,000 on a gameshow.
You win $40,000 in the lottery.
You
earn $40,000 from your job.
