re: 32 Hour Work Week

Link?

Well besides the illegal alien women and girls sold into slavery in the US to pay the cartels and coyotes for their transport here over the wide open border.

Bernie Sanders has proposed legislation to
Mandate a 32 hour work week instead of a 40 hour work week with no reduction in pay.

---

When all the folks who love this idea suddenly find they are enjoying working 20% fewer hours but are suddenly seeing 20% less pay they're gonna wonder what happened. The explanation will be, "You're still making X-amount of dollars per hour, so there is no reduction in pay. Only reduction in hours billable."

Bernie's a shrewd, old socialist feeding on the ignorance of idiots and freeloaders.

What about my statement read as a complaint to you? I'm not complaining about strangers working 80 hours a week. You do you.

---

Because all you pansies do is complain. When you run out of stuff to complain about… you make up stuff to complain and be outraged about.

Show me one hourly worker who is working 60 hours and being paid for 40. And if they don’t want to work a compensated 60 hours.. move on to the thousands of employers in this country that do not.

Most of the people who work unpaid hours are small business owners. The trade off is supposed to be in income when the business is established.

You were really triggered by my observation that lots of Americans make their personalities "I happily work 60 hours a week."

---

Absolutely no triggering about that. The “triggering” is the blind worship of a Vermont socialist who, in fact, is not socialist when it comes to his wealth. A faux socialist who had to drop “millionaires” from his speeches because he became one.


And then you folks come here and repeat what you are commanded to repeat from idiots like him.

don't prescribe to the notion that working fewer hours in any way equates to being less productive or lazy. EX: Surgeons schedule cases in bunches for any given day to be off as long as they like or space them out for the same reason.

So what’s the plan to cut teachers hours?


Hire more teachers? Or cut school hours?

The one unintended consequence of ideas like this is that it puts emphasis on automation. People have and will continue to be replaced by automation. Self check out, vending machine fast food, driverless cars, robots working warehouse, drone delivery… all a result of business trying to cut cost from the higher demands from human workers.

Sorry Bernie- socialism has consequences

Most 40 hr a week people already only work 32 hrs or less when you deduct their paid lunches and breaks.

---

Now imagine a 32 hour work week......you'll get about 25 hours of productivity from every overworked employee.

This will be a great (sarcasm) plan that absolutely fricks over most workers.

The simple work around.

Make your employees contract workers @ 40 hrs a week.

Then stick the middle class paying 100% of their FICA Taxes.

That's why they sued in Cali, people used 1099 employees to skirt the stupidity.

It's not the work week that sucks, it's the pay that sucks for most jobs.

Pay only sucks if you don't work hard or you're not good at what you do.

My wife's half brother's son is in his early-mid 20s and making 100 grand a year in BFE Oklahoma doing pest control. Which in rural Oklahoma equates to a pretty good living.

This mother fricker is dumber than a box of rocks. He got a 6 on the ASVAB and thought the the capitol of Texas was Dallas (he lived half his life in Texas).
