I think Bernie Sanders or some other politicians trying to make a 32 hour work week. That's pretty dumb though unless all houses, rent, food, and literally anything we pay money for becomes 40% cheaper which definitely won't happen. And employers will refuse to pay overtime if people work 40 hours cause they feel like they're getting screwed paying that 8 extra hours as OT when before it would be regular pay. But yeah this is unrealistic unless like I said government forces every single thing to become 40% or maybe even more cheaper in order for the country to sustain 32 hour work weeks

I never said anything about making people lazy. Just saying if Bernie and his little buddies pass a bill/law or whatever they're doing now then it only benefits lazy people because they would work less

I agree but they need to find a solution to make every single thing cheaper. Employers won't pay OT and then millions of people would be losing 8 hours of pay per week which is a lot

I'm skeptical, because there is literally no reason on planet earth for a worker to oppose a 32-hour work week that still pays the same amount of money as the previous 40-hour week.

The only reason prices go up is because companies make prices go up.

Not because Bob worked 32 hours at the office.

I am guessing the TCs thinking is only being paid for 32 hours but the bills idea is to make the same amount in 32 hours instead of 40.

Simple miscommunication.

Nope, no miscommunication. Just lazy trolling. Hence why they had to post this topic on an alt.

I'll ELI5 it for you seeing how you didn't think to google and educate yourself.

Humans are not robots and the quality of work goes down the longer they go without appropriate breaks. The 5 day workweek does not leave enough time for people to get the breaks they need to maintain optimal productivity, while the 4 day workweek does.

My contract pays me a minimum 35 hours per week but on average I only work 20-25. I got the contract during covid era back when I really was working 40 or more per week, but when things returned to normal so did my usual hours. My contract is good for another 5 years.

Sounds like you need a better job.

Your inquiry has already been answered but you dwell on the one person who called you a troll possibly to generate more posts.

Your not trolling case only grows weaker.

People in countries with 32 hour work weeks measure higher in happiness and work-life balance.

Maybe you just need to get out of the capitalist bubble and realize you grew up in a country meant to manipulate you into being their slave. We only have the 40 hour work week because our country used to be so shitty and capitalist nut gobbling that children were working 16 hour days in factories for like 25c a day because it was necessary for the household to survive.

Things are better now than they were back then and they can be even better yet.

You know what after thinking about it for 20 seconds, I admit adding the lazy people part in the topic title and the opening post seems like an insult to people and it is an insult to people. My bad guys. Seems like the bill will make it so that working 32 hours would be like working 40 hours money wise. That's the most important part cause I thought they'd just not do anything about the 8 hours of pay and if they some how make it work I'd be really happy and want this to happen

Well that was big of you and shows you were here for honest discussion, so that's cool.

Yeah, it was a poor decision to think it was inherently about being lazy, however to err is human and to admit fault is to be mature.

More time not working means more time spent on pursuit of pleasure and living a better, more meaningful life. Living a good life requires a lot of effort, it's not for the lazy.

I can say that since I switched to 32 hours, I've been way more productive and enthusiastic about work. And that's despite my pay going down by 20% accordingly (per hour rate is the same as before, but 20% less hours).

Why did you pull that out of your constipated ass? I'm definitely not anti vaccination and got it the second it was available. If I make racists and sexists posts then I would've been banned ages ago. You got the wrong person buddy. You and your 14 yr old, 140 karma account gotta put more effort into your pathetic troll post.

Anyone who believes that the Vaccine is a means of population control is insane.

I'm 100% pro vaccine and I dont think it's a means of population control but there are a lot of people and companies getting FUCKING richer than they already were before pandemic...I don't think a lot of politicians are in a hurry to cure covid. If covid numbers come down all of a sudden they're gonna freak out and say a new wave of covid is here to extend things

... okay, but where does it say anything about being anti-vaxx? He's not wrong that the manufacturers of the vaccines are making money. It's a completely separate statement from anything anti-vaxx.

The conspiracy thing near the end is a bit silly, but I don't get "anti-vaxx" from that post so much as I read distrust in the government.

Pushing blatant conspiracy theories about the vaccine is and always has been an anti-vaxx tactic, but I'm not surprised you jumped up to defend him, since you dabble in that kind of thing, yourself.

You're defending somebody who blatantly took part in anti-vax rhetoric, so you tell me.
