1. [+743, -11] Only one of two things left for us in this country: either go instinct from low birth rates or die from work exhaustion
2. [+694, -20] And our pig of a president is doing a damn good job of running this country into the ground!
3. [+655, -11] The irony of the same government trying to come up with measures to raise birth rates ㅎㅎ
4. [+27, -2] Our country is going backward. The top 10% are sacrificing the rest of the 90% for their own comfort.
5. [+26, -2] The pig of a president can work 69 hours all by himself ㅋㅋ
6. [+25, -0] Other countries are trying to cut back work week hours while we're working to increase them
7. [+21, -1] Ugh, so embarrassing. We're becoming an underdeveloped country in the eyes of the first world.
8. [+18, -0] A new type of Hallyu wave... K-Kwarosa (death from overwork) ㅋㅋ
9. [+16, -0] Meanwhile, other countries are trying to get a four-day work week enacted ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ while we're proposing 69-hour weeks ㅋㅋㅋ are we crazy? Why would anyone even think corporations would allow us to take lump vacation days in exchange for more work hours? ㅋㅋ
10. [+15, -0] Foreigners must seriously be confused and wondering what's wrong with us
11. [+14, -0] Foreigners are probably so confused ㅋㅋㅋ just a year ago, our country was lauded for how we handled COVID and reached new economic records, and look at us now
12. [+14, -0] The government just wants us all to quickly die from overwork so they don't have to pay out retirement pensions~~
13. [+13, -0] In the eyes of countries with 38-hour work weeks, I bet our normal 52 hours were crazy enough, but to now be reading about 69 hours must be so ridiculous and backward..
14. [+13, -0] Let's start with politicians working 69-hour weeks
15. [+13, -0] Why must we suffer international embarrassment due to our government...
16. [+12, -0] Our country's good at one thing: exporting embarrassing new terminology like 'kwarosa' (overwork death) and 'molca' (hidden camera).
