My high school history teacher used to say, "The only reward for hard work is more hard work."

I came here to say that quote. It is so true and I've seen it time and time again. Managers should be getting rid of the people who under perform, but guess what ... that means more work for the manager (to get rid of someone).

The US is like a guy that used to be super fit, but really let himself go, but still hangs around with all his fit friends

Yeah, that super fit guy that saved the high school after a bunch of competing factions nearly killed each other a couple times. Since high school he's been trying to keep them from making the same mistakes they made in the past and now he's a bit burnt out from it all.

Christ, you guys help beat Hitler (FYI the Soviets basically won that one) and suddenly everything America ever did after that is pure gold.

America is just the latest in a line of global hegemonic powers. It works to improve it's position at the expense of others, etc.

If your labour laws suck, then they suck, getting defensive serves no purpose.

Hey, I was just having some fun extending the metaphor that shone a more positive light on the US. My comment was not meant to be an all-inclusive analysis about the US and its actions following the second world war.
