Half of them won’t have any reduction of work at all since they don’t do anything but post on Reddit all day anyway

I for one am excited for the machines taking orders at every restaurant and not having to tip for basic shite if this bill passes which it never will.

I'm also looking forward to getting fired when boss tells me to work extra hours in a week to meet crucial deadlines and I say na, I met my 32 homie

Why not just make it a 0 hour work week with a $10,000,000.00 payment to everyone monthly?

Well, if you work 8 hrs and get paid lunches and breaks you are already working 32 hrs a week, or less.

The federal government should not be regulating the workweek regardless if it’s 32 or 40.

For white-collar jobs there is actually SOME logic to this notion.

Project based/time-management jobs often see increased productivity with constrained timeframes.

For other jobs that are based on "simply being there regardless of the amount of work" this will simply lead to "increases in new hires" which is probably the onus for this push.

We are the laziest country in the world, which is why all the money will end up with a few people, the people who work and live within their means. Stock up because these lazy swine will be coming eventually. Its just history baby.

Bernie and his master's overall goal is to eliminate humans, period. So soon, that 32 hour minimum wage job is going to turn into nice, equal federally subsidized poverty.

No loss in pay

Your pay will just be 4/5th since that is all you are working, your pay rate will stay the same

How many Reddit users don't understand basic economics?

Bernie hasn't worked 30 hours in a week his entire life.

This guy has been taken care of by taxpayers and lobbyist, frick him.

Would love to see a comparison of increased overtime expenditures vs. hiring & training more workers who need benefits and desks and all that jazz.

It seems like the main reason anyone ever cares about this stuff is because health insurance is tied to full-time employment. That's a meaty tangent and it's tough to find a feasible change- Universal Healthcare is bonkers expensive, and privatized Healthcare is comically inefficient. Healthcare itself is not a good that plays by standard economics principles.

Other than that, just get a part time job and work your 32 hours, dammit.

I really don't understand the backlash to this. Humans have worked on reducing the amount of labor needed for survival since early agricultural times. In modern post industrial times we have filled that gap with needless bureaucratic and administrative tasks.

Now that we're almost to that point with automation, why not enjoy the fruits of that labor?

If most of us in the professional world are being honest with ourselves, our jobs don't require near a full 40 hour work week.

The problem is the service industry and what to do with those people until automation takes over, and also how to fill increasing 'free' time with something productive and fulfilling. Unfortunately most people would just sit on the couch staring at their phone an additional 8 hours a day, which is sad.

This is what you get when people that have never done anything are elected to lead this country...
