32hr week is fine, but what does he mean by no loss in pay?
The mandated work week is something a central regulator controls, and the pay is not.
The drop in productivity because of working 32hrs instead of 40hrs will be much less than 20%, that’s for sure. Maybe there’ll be no drop at all. That doesn’t always translate to no drop in pay.
If by 32hrs we mean 4 days, then it frees that day for other workers (if we imagine any job with a physical workplace). The pay is a result of the balance of interests. It will become less.
And personally I’d say 35hr week is a better idea - as in 5 days of 7hrs .
I’ve been responsible for some relatively important things from time to time, and that’s just as likely to happen in future.
While your reply is not very convincing and recursively makes me think I’d not entrust to you anything I really want done in a satisfactory way at least.
I don’t think my thought processes are garbage. They at least have evolved past the mistakes most people here do.
Anyway, you haven’t provided any argumentation, just came here and started throwing feces. I don’t argue with monkeys, at least not after I fully realize I’m talking to one.
Bernie is advocating for a 4 day work week with no loss in pay
Yeah, sure, and I’m advocating for long power lines with no loss in power. Bernie doesn’t explain how’s he (even algorithmically) going to evaluate which pay is “no loss in pay” and how is he going to enforce it.
