Koreas health insurance and Hawaiis health insurance is better than what the mainland has come up with.
Koreas unemployment rate is like 3%
People have to make a living.
People who do it better, should be in charge. Most of you are here because the western way has shut you out if a job. |
Korea's health insurance is quite limited once you get past having the flu or a stomach ache. I had better coverage in the U.S.
Korea's unemployment rate doesn't include those not looking for work, does it? I ask, because if it's so low, why are so many university graduates having a hard time and why are there so many people hanging out just about anywhere you happen to be?
And of course KT's getting ready to lay off thousands of "older workers." Do the statistics not count those what have been "retired" from the chaebols, etc.?
Statistics, what a headache! |

The laid off workers are getting 2 years salary as severance.
Guess thats enough to start a Buy the Way huh?
Yeah, for major surgeries, it would be cheaper in the us, assuming you can get a job that provides you with insurance. Otherwise, why would most esl teachers come to Korea if they had that?
Hawaiis health insurance is the best in the us.

Coincidentally, Hawaii has the nations highest percentage of Asian Americans who are in charge of state policy.
Coincidentally.... Of course. They dont want you to know that. They rather keep their job by endangering your life.
But either way, US unemployment statistics do not include those who gave up looking for work. Yes, our super low prices in the us essentially cut out millions from jobs. Congrats and welcome to Korea |

So I'm 45 and I get, hopefully, two years severance. What do I do after my convenience store, chicken shack or coffee shop goes bust? 
You can have Hawaii's health care, although I'm sure the Japanese immigrants you refer to keep things running smoothly, kind of like they did in Korea. Still, give me the Mayo Clinic stateside.
As for most ESL teachers and health care, I do sometimes wonder if they were just all losers back where they came from. There are usually always jobs for those willing to work.
Of course you don't get those five months of vacation that you do in SK. |

Yeah it sucks but back in the US, 2k people getting laid off would barely get noticed, and it would simply mean you are not cutting it.
I definitely believe more in the Korean attitude towards employment now. |

Actually Hawaiians of Japanese descent have been in hawaii for several centuries now.
No, there are not jobs for anyone willing to work bqck in the us a few years ago. The ivy leaguers took all the gap store sales jobs. The system failed.
People in the US needs to make a living. A different attitude towards profit is needed. |

That's a whole 'nother kettle of fish, though isn't it?
The system failed? That's a bit over-dramatic.
And you fail to account for the continued rise of machines. With automation and computers you just don't need that many workers. That's something tariffs can't stop.
I was sure you were going to say the Japanese were the original Hawaiians, that they had come over 2000 years ago on a land bridge. You fooled me!
So do you surf?

Companies in Korea are a lot less willing to fire workers, regardless od machines or not. Workers do have more rights here.
I surfed like twice. I snowboard more. But i do like paddle surfing. Most underrated sport ever. |

Do you have anything specific in mind? Performance standards seem low, but I don't know of you can consider that workers' rights.
And what about the yellow envelope fund? Going on strike, unless the company says you can, can be a very expensive proposition in SK.
So you're saying Charlie don't surf? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtD0NpyH8qA |
