Reply to comment by ackillesBAC in A 2-year-old boy was lost in the Florida woods for 24 hours. Everyone feared the worst. Hundreds of volunteers came out to look for him. One volunteer came to a fork in a field: right or left? He trusted his gut, went left and soon heard a whimper. It was the little boy, crying but in good health. by ConquerWyoming

When we moved into our new house several years ago my son who at the time was 3/4 vanished in the morning. I wake up early for work and found the front door wide open and couldn’t find my son anywhere. I’m outside in a panic looking for him and what feels like an eternity searching eventually my neighbor flags me down and informs me he’s with her. Apparently he wanted to play basketball with the neighbors kids.

Your point you keep losing people on is this whole “it’s not free time you can’t spend it how you choose” makes zero sense. On a lunch you can go eat food, go to the bank, go get your car washed, go get your taxes done, spend some time with a significant other, take a walk and on and on. You have to have a better argument because again you’re making it seem like you’re held hostage and have to get permission from your employer to do anything while you’re out on lunch. And let’s say you magically get paid for lunch. How will getting paid allow you to get things done during the same time span that you magically can’t get done currently? None of this makes sense.

I don’t know what line of work you’re in but I get hour lunches and have at other jobs. When I get my lunch I get plenty of time to do stuff and I don’t know exactly what you’re looking to do on your lunch break but now it seems you want time to eat lunch and do other stuff on top of that all while getting paid. That’s quite the fantasy. You want to go fight for that right all the power to you. There are probably bigger labor issues that you could spend your energy focusing on however.

I’m not following this. You get an hour to go on lunch you’re not held captive anywhere. I have my usual spots I go to for lunch and I’ve never felt captive and why should I get paid? I am not working. I wasn’t hired to stuff my mouth with a meatball sub so I don’t expect to get paid while I go down to the sub shop down the street.
