this. A huge part of America's success comes from Americans working more hours per year than any other country besides China/Japan/Korea. Why would you open a new office in a country where nobody is allowed to work more than 32 hours a week. You wouldn't.
not really. america is successful because they invented electricity, planes, computers, ect. that being said all that was in the past. now that america is in it's twilight years might as well take a break
It would have lowered naturally if we weren't in a fiat slave system and from the natural economic progress that would ensue if statist parasites like him had all been helicoptered a long time ago
It's almost like there's a world outside of mindless consumerism. Makes you wonder how people used to live when they weren't glued to an office chair or tablet. If everyone has more free time, "third places" will come back.
No. In a competition based society, giving the poor more access to time means inflation as some of them turn their wealth into piles of money.
On the other side of things everything is getting automated and the money is becoming somewhat irrelevant to those that have it so I say just put more fuel on the fire.

These old fossils have been govt welfare queens they're entire lives. They never worked a fricking day of their life or ran an actual business.
How the frick does any body think these fricking parasite s know anything about labour or business?
They ought to be barred from even speaking about it.
Wouldnt work in the US. too many people cant produce enough value in 32 hours to survive. What can some Black person do for 32 hours that would earn him a living wage?
this guy is a grifter at the highest level, whether you agree with his views or not is irrelevant because he means absolutely none of what he says and this is just the latest example
The whole work week bullshit is a scam. You're effectively paid to be available 40 hours a week, not actually work.
For the last 10 years I've probably averaged 18 hours a week of actual, productive work. I could easily do what I do in 3 days, the other 2 days are just a formality.
But if they want to pay me $50/hr to browse here, watch youtube and knockoff early to play golf, so be it. All i have to do is keep a phone on me and answer it when shtf.
It wouldn't for a long time, the economic infrastructure west of the rockies is designed for a 40-60 hour work week, and much of the east and south has been trashed into urban sprawl as well
All you would get is people realizing how empty thier lives are; a change of this magnitude would take a decade for a full shift and would require a compressive economic shift of all sectors
so company can pay a little more per hour and they can say there is wage inflation.
Yeah, it would benefit the economy.

Ancient Egyptian s only worked half the year. The rest of their time was free to study the stars and invent mathematics
Ancient egypt had slaves, of which you would be one.
>32 hour work week
>more time off
>can't go anywhere because all the shops can't find anyone to work
buy netflix

it's moments like these where you should be thankful our democracy is controlled by elites or else this bill would actually be taken seriously
but I get paid hourly

>Would a 32 hour/4 day work week benefit the economy?
I would greatly appreciate more time off.
I work 12 hour days 6 days a week.
I want to kill myself.

if this thread was happening in the early 1900s everyone here would be clamoring to keep the 60 hour work week. brainwashed wagies.
kek
>but I need my kids working 60 hour work week or else I can’t pay rent
wagies are still slaves they just start at an older age

we can start small. 2-4 hours less on fridays
the politicians are too weak to simply enforce regulations on housing and real estate markets.
The real estate rental market is the biggest drain on the economy. It's pretty much the root.
now need 20% more illegals, nice job Bernie
