You already knew the Internet is Cthulhu but it hasn't been clear that he's been so effective (RT: ‘Always-on’ work culture ‘is killing people’ - research)
"It is much worse than we thought. It is killing people,” says David Plans, co-author of new research into the effects of prolonged work-related stress on our health.

The results of a study won't likely surprise you but they give confirmation of what you suspected.
While a strong work ethic is healthy and productive, a hyperconnected, ‘always on’ culture and collective inability to leave work at the office increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, new research has confirmed.
The study, published in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, found that over half of workers in the City of London are more stressed at home than they are at work as a result of ‘spikes’ in stress triggered by recurring thoughts about work and work-related stressors while at home.

It's best for the economy if Japanese continue working themselves to death. (RT: Ending 'death by overwork' bad for Japan's economy - Deutsche Bank)
How about that for the best in banker hive think.
Efforts by Japan’s authorities to curb long work hours could weigh heavily on the country’s economic growth, a study by Deutsche Bank found. The Japanese are recognized one of the world’s most overworked nations.
According to CNBC, the bank said in a note that "cuts in overtime hours lead to lower household income, corporate earnings, and the economy's potential output.”
It added that labor intensive industries that depend on domestic demand and have a greater weight of part-time workers in their workforce are likely to suffer more.

Ed: they have no migrant workers
Nope
Japan is one of the few governments in the world which is run more irresponsibly than Washington since their national debt is highest in the world relative to their GDP. It's not that the Japanese economy will get bad from correcting problems with overwork; it's already bad.
Ed: that's probably why Japan is trying to start a ruckus with China in the South China Sea
Probably so and it's the same reason America does it. When the government spends too much on the military, it has to make it do stuff so people don't feel ripped off.
When Japan tries to get bad with China, it's just striking a pose since it only has a pissant military and deliberately. The first reason for the US base in Okinawa is the staging for a nuke war but the secondary reason is to ensure Japan never becomes a military power again.
It's the same situation with Germany since the parallel to NATO was SEATO for the SouthEast Asia Treaty Organization but that one fell apart while NATO still prevails. The military effect was the same in Germany as in Japan since they don't have anything close to a formidable military today either.
There's a whole lot of warping of focus since there has been almost no talk of considerations for overworked people in these articles and the general premise now is people who can't hack it should just join the military.
In part, Millennials bring it on themselves but the Boomers enabled it by ensuring they always had cellphones, etc. The focus isn't on adults who are working themselves to death since most are probably well on the way and the hope is the Millennials find some kind of awareness from swimming in all this electronic gimcrackery and find some way to regulate it which works one hell of a better than anything in existence now.
Ed: state regulation?
Noooooo. This is personal regulation in walking away from the blinking lights. When I went on holiday, it had to be outside the country so the bank could not reach me on a cellphone because they sure as hell would have done it otherwise and they did. Now there's no escaping them so what will the kids do since the banks or any corporation won't change.
So far, people just roll over for it and the next roll is into a box.
It may seem I'm just some babbling breakdown but I know the excitement of being deep inside the Matrix. I've been in places with large mainframe computers lined up into the far distance and worked by some of the smartest people you may ever meet. Some may know the magic of IBM Poughkeepsie since that's where some of their major wizards hang about.
It is exciting since this is the biggest, fastest stuff in the world and these are the smartest, most sophisticated people around it so, sure, that's a whale of an exciting buzz.
But that buzz goes twenty-four hours.
In part it's the bank or whatever corporation sucking your soul and it will but part of it is you throwing it away because it's so damn cool.
Ed: so the problem is everything is too damn cool now?
Everything except talk radio.
