Who knew that working people less means they have time to have kids?

It's always amazing to see study after study confirming totally obvious relationships yet policy makers and corporations still choose to ignore all of it.

It really wouldn't be an issue if workplace sex was easily possible. If you spend the whole day there you might at least multitask and make new workers while inputting data into Excel.

Office sex DOES exist, but only accessible by the higher echelons of corporate management ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

The 69 hours a week bill got defeated. Apparently someone suggested 69 as a way of getting more babies, and the PM was like "hours of work a week? Deal!"

I hope you're not joking, that's hilarious

That the bill got defeated, and that the cap was 69 hours of work is true. Sadly, the rest was a joke.
