  • First off, this is a fucking ad. Article author is Mark Gerson who repeatedly references a book titled “God Was Right” written by… Mark Gerson… Set to release next month.

    Second, just some of my “favorite” parts:

    Contemporary research has shown that we can enjoy and find meaning in any job as long as we frame it correctly. This is called “job crafting.”

    Numerous studies have found that there is a productivity ceiling.

    The rate of production slowed for the hours 50 to 55.

    However, there was no increase in output from hours 56 to 70.

    “That extra 14 hours was a waste of time.”

    And so, we now have the number of what we have termed the “productivity ceiling”: It’s 55 hours a week.

    And here’s the amazing and maybe divine math.
    A Sabbath observer can work 10 hours a day for five days a week. He can really only work half a day on the sixth, as he needs to prepare for Shabbat — leaving him with a 55-hour work week.







  • It seems he posted his own reply to that post:

    "I interned at the NWS in high school, have always contributed storm reports, and have a lot of friends current and retired NWS forecasters. I love the NWS even though many of the workers there are haters of ours. I am deeply familiar with how important their role is in the warning process, data collection, and numerical weather prediction as well as research. They all deserve our support. I’m not into politics - I dropped out of political science in 1999 to chase Hurricane Floyd and never looked back. The social sciences have never resonated with me. When I saw these firings happening, the least I could do is support my friends at the NWS with a post. I’m just a storm chaser
