sure, as they starve to death while freezing in the dark cause they are brokeWhy not come out and just say, "we're too bloody lazy to contribute to society."
“We pretend to work, and they pretend to pay us.”
At least none of us will have Obamacare.
Oh, sheesh....the younger you are, the more hours you should work. I would like to see high school ended around age 14/15...and then work or advanced education. People should work the most during their most productive years.....especially from 15 - 50. I worked many a 60 hour work week in my 30’s and 40’s. Won’t kill ya! Will make you stronger, or at least help you prioritize better!
How about everyone go onto 30 hour weeks- 3, 10-hour days.
You would not get paid a lot but hey! I would shovel ditches if I could have 4 days a week off every single week.
One half the poplulation works the first 3 days, the other half the next three days, and we all have Sunday off to THANK GOD FOR ENDLESS 4 DAY WEEKENDS!!!
I would love to go to 4, 10-hour days already- i have too much I want to do at home with jy children. With all that extra time I could plant a garden to make up for the food money i would lose... get my garage cleaned and KEEP IT CLEAN! go swimming and stay healthy - not spend every weekend beat-down and dragging for some more energy to start another week...
WOO HOO!
I think it makes sense. When you think of government workers I’m sure a lot of them (not all mind you) could complete their primary tasks in 25 hours per week. That’d be a nice savings for the taxpayer.
They should just make the economy so that all women can stay home with their kids, all day.
Should mommies HAVE to work...? I think not.
Cool, we can spend the rest of the time on FreeRepublic.
40 hours isn’t enough!!!
I averaged over 12 hours a day 6 days a week for over 40 years and sometimes that wasn’t enough.
There was a guy on Cavuto today urging for a shorter work week and mandatory vacations like in Europe.
The cuts in work would produce cuts in energy used resulting in cuts in greenhouse gasses and the cost savings over a hundred years would be in the trillions. There would be real climate change
I thought the interviewer (not Neil) was going to burst out laughing.
I am retired and could not work that much even if I wanted to.
Okay, let’s drill down a bit... shall we?
The labor force today is 160m, with 140m employed and 20m unemployed.
Is the proposal on the table for, say, 240m to work a 25-hour week? Didn’t they try this for 50 years behind the Iron Curtain a few years back?
Or, just as likely, is the proposal for the aforementioned 140m employed to work 25 hrs, and the other 20m+80m taking from the system, and for that 140m to pay 60% higher taxes so that the govt collects the same amount?
sure, as they starve to death while freezing in the dark cause they are brokeI think Norway is close to this model.
sheesh things are already running at the speed of cold molasses, this would make it worse
Today, it would fall under the current fad of "fairness," arguing that it's not fair for someone to hoard a well-paying job all their lives, and so they must give up some of it so that someone less fortunate also has a chance to earn a decent living.

I stopped reading at Denmark. Isn’t that the country where dope is on a menu? Enough said.
