Gee, i thought getting up early benefited the Archaeic hunter and farmer which in turn benefited his family, clan, and tribe.

I think it is a parody blog and this article is written by an AI.

“I think it is a parody blog and this article is written by an AI.”

It could have ended with, “A football is not a very good Christmas present.”

A real Hemingway.

I see no peaceful solution or compromise with these types.

Nor do I, and haven't for some lengthy time now.

On work days I’m up at 5am. On days off, I sleep-in until 6:30am.

Well, we had to get up early so we could wake up our slaves!

A strong work ethnic is white supremacy! This country would be as backward as African nations if not for it and that would be a good thing according to this moron.

> How can the Babylon Bee survive, when these nut jobs are given credibility by their editors?

When I read the headline, I was fairly sure it was a stealth Babylon Bee post. Imagine my surprise....

This author has clearly never worked an honest job.   Forty seven years ago when I got to my first duty station in the USAF I was assigned to rotating twelve hour shifts, four on and three off.

That means we worked four daytime shifts for twelve hours each day, then had three days off, then worked four evening shifts (we called them swings) for twelve hours each, then had three days off, then we worked four midnight shifts for twelve hours each day, then had three days off, and biorhythms be damned.   That also worked out to where one of the breaks was almost four days, but one of the other double-backs was actually two days.

For the forty years of my career in telecommunications I worked much of the same and I found that I perfered the midnight shifts and worked that straight midnight shift several years in a row. When I became a Program Manager to support international corporations, I often had to get up in the middle of the night to host conference calls with support centers, client locations and technicians in the field to install and online routers, servers or switches for network locations.   There was no racial element whatsoever.   When I worked for MCI, the epic legend in the company was the technicians from Jamaica Telephone spread out from New York and built the major switching sites.   When I hired on in 1983, one of the Jamaica Tel men the Installations Supervisor (Bobby Grey apologized, first thing, if I had trouble with his accent - I didn't).

One of the support centers I coordinated with was in the Philippines, another was in Brazil, another was in Europe.

Service industries that work 24/7/365 are everywhere and have been around for 100 years.   White privilege never had anything to do with the requirements of a job.   Farmers have always awakened before dawn, Black or White.

This author is a fool to make assumptions without basis in fact.

Winston Churchill, who often stayed in bed until noon or 1 pm, must have been the most wokest White man in history. What? He was a racist and imperialist too? I guess we can’t win.

I can't believe nobody has yet posted the picture that goes with the article. That is some serious perkiness happening there.

If I woke up alongside of this, I doubt I'd be getting out of bed immediately, no sir.

“Creating a more inclusive and equitable society involves redefining our understanding of productivity and success. This means recognizing that there are various ways to be productive and that the traditional 9-to-5 work schedule may not be the best fit for everyone.”

Wish I worked for this Bozo! I’d make him wait hours, née days for anything he wants and if he complains I’d accuse him of being a White Supremacist. If his wife is in labor or there is a medical emergency, docs feel free to arrive at your convenience. Police and FireMEN, ditto!

Gee, I did not know that getting up at 3:00am the other day to make my 6:00am flight from Logan Airport back home was rooted in racism. Or that I am usually at the office before or shortly after 7:30am and my being up early to do that is also racist.

Stop hating black people just because they are black! (/s)
