Good: pointing out that the 5 day work week sucks

Bad: his entire plan sucks. Having 2 seperate days off means that there are no days for yourself, only constant work or rest

    pretty much ye. I remember him using the "but the royals produce so much tourism money for the UK"-argument like it isn't dwarfed by France's tourist income - with their well-dead royals and all.

      No it's worse than that, it's because they "own" a bunch of property that is entirely managed by the state and generates a shitton of revenue, which the state gets in exchange for all their royal privileges. So in the liberal mind, this is the same as the royal family generating all that revenue, since they can't imagine a world in which we both stopped giving them special treatment and kept the money.

      I don't understand this argument. Like, is there someone who's like "I can't wait to visit the UK so that I can be in the same city as some rich old hag and the pedos in her family"? Is there someone who'd say "I was planning to go to the UK but now they got rid of the monarchy so fuck it"? Well I'm assuming there's at least 5 people like that but I doubt they are very important for the tourist industry.
