Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says Americans need to make work / life ‘tradeoffs’ to compete with China.

You first.

Or the people at the top should be forced to accept less profit.

Eric Schmidt needs to fuck off and die

Says another guy who probably has staff to cut his toenails.

It's inspiring how giving and generous the rich are with other people's lives.

Or maybe American executives need to stop taking exorbitant compensation packages that needlessly raise prices.

No we don't

Tradeoffs in the opposite direction from what he is thinking maybe. China has an extremely low fertility rate that will inevitably burden their economy as time goes on, and the US's population is only stable because of immigration. We can't simply outwork a country with several times the population we have to draw a workforce from, and so overextracting human labor at a rate that leaves people too exhausted or busy to desire a family is just going to result in an even more constrained labor pool in the future. I'd be willing to bet that we'd actually eventually have a stronger economy in the decades to come if we were to collectively do less work.

You first.

I, for one, don't want to compete with slave labor

Says man who doesn’t do fuck all to make a living

I'd rather watch Eric get his ass beat on cam.

Why?

What Dipshit Eric Schmidt meant was that American workers should do 7107. 7 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week.

Those shareholders need to see profit.

You think the American worker would compete better if CEOs didn't make quite so much money Eric? If that money was spread out a little bit?

I bet China has a search engine that still kinda works. We have broken and censored search. Maybe Google CEO Eric Schmidt should look into the broken search part now that he's got the censorship thing figured out. You put in some 80 hour weeks to get it done, lazy prick

Fuck America
