Liberalism = NIMBY.
How about ‘job sharing’? 6 months full time. Jan-June. His or her friend flies in for a 2 week overlap in May and works until Dec. 15. Everyone goes home on time and learns good English in the process. A 60 hour workweek would be like the 24 hour shifts an M.D. takes in his residency. Toughening them up for future citizenship.
