Should have started playing The Rains of Castamere and started locking all the doors

    I don't understand how that is embarrassing. It's a good American song.

    It's a song encouraging homeless people to use the YMCA for housing and a meal. It could be a subtle jab at the state of homelessness in America while pretending to celebrate American culture. Might be a stretch though.

    I mean Trump loves YMCA. That could have just been them being nice by playing a song he likes, even if it is ridiculous. But I guess in the context of the other stuff they did they were trolling him. Someone should have fun with him.

    996 is illegal, and was restricted mostly to large tech companies. Modern working hours in China are around 44-48 per week, varying year to year.

    EDIT: I have been proven wrong and what i have said is probably partially false. Thanks to cowbee. My experience is outdated.

    Again, the practice has been cracked down on, and was largely in bleeding edge tech companies. It isn't the backbone of the Chinese economy, nor is it the norm.

    I agree that it's ridiculous to use social media comments as evidence. Chinese workers work on average 46 hours a week. This is a fact, and the median is lower as the sectors 996 was found in before the crackdown raised the average, largely in Beijing and Shanghai, and largely in the tech sector.
