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.

Yeah lets have robots and AI do work for us now and then layoff the rest of the work force </sarcasm>
