Interesting ...
From Zero Hedge site: “The data for the 33 countries profiled come from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)’s Time Use database, for ages 15 through 64 years old.”
The data looks very questionable to me. First, the OECD is a French organization set up in 1948 to by allocate United States financial aid and implemente economic programs for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II. They controlled the "Money" from the US. Ha ha ha. And they are an "Official Observer of the UN" which grants them certain permissions short of voting. But to me the biggest is being a propaganda arm for the UN, and data like this, disseminated for the UN's purposes is highly suspect.
In my youth, I used to believe that “data drives out speculation.” As my bones have become brittle and my brain softens, I am starting to take the opposite view. Perhaps we should make the fudging of data a capital crime?
