Stuff is increasing in price but wages arent increasing. It sounds like you are saying in different words that people should work 50 or 60 hours in the future.

You seem be helping my point. People are already struggling financially working 40 hours a week because of a lack of wage increase as cost of living rises. If you cut those people hours and they still make the same amount an hour, they would struggle even more financially.

Here's and example:

Person makes 12 dollars an hour working 40 hours a week. Their pay would be 480 dollars a week.

Same person now works 32 hours a week at the same 12 dollars an hour. Now they make only 384 dollars a week. If that person was struggling to get by before, what makes you think they wouldn't making less money a week?

The ideal solution should be, lower the amount of hours in the work week, raise wages across the board and lower the cost of living.
