MODERATORS
I always see this, a 4 day week being equated to 4 - 10 and it always leaves me baffled that people think we have to work 40 hours. No we fucking don't. 40 hour work week was implemented when automation was but a fraction of what it is today. Heck one can even argue that we can half the working hours to 20 and still be fine.
Yep, agreed 100%. 32hr workweek should just be a first step or transition to 24, then even less. Automation, AI, and everything should benefit all of us not just the billionaires.
I guess the argument is that you could even have it without changing the amount of hours.
