And I, Sandwichman, aka Tom Walker, am offering five thousand of those high flying loonies (at 80 cents per, that's $4,000 U.S. bucks) to the lucky ducky who can authenticate the claim that advocates of reduced working time or work sharing necessarily "believe there is only a fixed amount of work to be done" as claimed in the October 18 report prepared by former IMF head Michel Camdessus for the French Ministry of Finance. Or as the report puts it, "La logique de partage repose sur l’hypothèse qu’il existe, dans l’économie, une quantité d’emplois déterminée et fixe."

BULL F'ing SHIT, Monsieurs Camdessus et Sarkozy. The lump of labour fallacy is a hoax, the claim is a straw man and therefore M. Camdessus's report is a crock. And I invite anybody who wants to put up a prize that nobody can win to pledge contributions to increase the prize amount.
