A.I. aside, we should get 4 day work weeks regardless.

    Thanks for suggesting I look it up, I found this:

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1332/text

    This is a great example of something that addresses the concerns I have, I assumed you already saw this since you seem to be informed on the issue. Are there any more like it that can potentially address any other concerns I mentioned before?

    Bare in mind, the amendment proposed in that house bill does not address any of the following:

    • It does not require employers to pay workers the same weekly pay for fewer hours (i.e., no guaranteed wage preservation).
    • It does not require employers to adjust hourly wages upward to compensate for lost hours.
    • It does not establish a new minimum wage or cost-of-living adjustment.

    None of the current FLSA text mandates any kind of salary or wage calculation, so the amendment has to include it if that’s the solution proposed, which it seemingly is not. Again, you say I can look this stuff up and it’s all available and this is all I could find. Surely you know more than me, right?

        I would have saved so much more time if you just answered my questions, and now all I am left with is obviously you have no clue about 32 hour work weeks. You also don’t seem to be capable of expressing why you think this is a good idea. You are the obtuse one, in my finding. You think I’m the one trolling when obviously you are the one who is just saying things to argue for no reason. You contributed zero to this discussion. I was asking the questions. I found the information. I came up with the conclusions. All you did was say “I like bernie sanders her dur”
