That's separatist propaganda: Catalonia, a Spanish region where separatists are ruling and expect to do a referendum against the rule of law in October so the region can exit Spain and the European Union and be "free", is "better" than the "lazy Spain". Rationale: in Spain there is no such thing as generalized three-hour lunch break. In fact, most industries have short lunch pause (e.g. 7 to 15:30h), and most offices take just one hour (e.g. 9 to 18h). That's only true for shops (e.g. 9:30..13:30h and 17..21h), and that's how shops work almost everywhere, not a specific thing of Spain. I forgot to add that Catalans, myself included, have a lot to learn from other Spanish regions: e.g. in Madrid there is commercial freedom, so shops can chose when they can open, without the permission of the feudal^W local government.

At least, before writing your usual biased diatribe you should read the original link in that shitty article. In no place is mentiioned Spain and the article talks about rationalizing the shops schedule. But don't let pass any opportunity to show your hatred > I forgot to add that Catalans, myself included, have a lot to learn from other Spanish regions: e.g. in Madrid there is commercial freedom, so shops can chose when they can open, without the permission of the feudal^W local government. And you forgot that "libertarians" like you are just a tiny minority. And no, it is not feudal, it is not being slaves

  > At least, before writing your usual biased diatribe you should read the original link in that shitty article. That was just my opinion. > In no place is mentiioned Spain and the article talks about rationalizing the shops schedule. My point was because the only sector that matches the schedule the article was speaking about was the shops, as the three hours pause is very rare except for the shops and some services that operate in same schedule (e.g. some repair shops). > But don't let pass any opportunity to show your hatred Hatred, against who? To disagree with a local government is hatred? If someone puts a region as example of something, you can expect others putting examples of the opposite, specially if you live there. > And you forgot that "libertarians" like you are just a tiny minority. I'm not libertarian, I'm in favor of social democracy ("center"). And that's compatible with willing to have freedom for shops and business to operate at their will, without having to bribe local governments so they do "schedule exceptions" (e.g. some malls open on Sundays because of """exceptions"""). > And no, it is not feudal, it is not being slaves That's your opinion, worth just as mine ;-)

      The lie is in the article: it is false that the three hours pause is generalized, but a exception, except for shops. Then, in my opinion, the purpose of that lie is separatist propaganda, as I exposed in my first comment. I don't want to continue the discussion with you, as this forum is not an appropriate place for political/nationalist flamewars. You have your opinion, I have mine. Free speech means to live with people you don't agree with. Kind regards.

NBut you're so obsessed with independientist propagand that you didn't even read it. Even when I have said top you that the original article is about that. > I don't want to continue the discussion with you, as this forum is not an appropriate place for political/nationalist flamewars. Curious, the one starting always political flame wars is you

> separatist propaganda This breaks the HN guideline against calling names in arguments as well as the injunction against flamebait and flamewars. Predictably, it started another internecine political flamewar. We warned you about this before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14473747 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14473747.
