But how will billionaires outdo each other's penis rockets and virtual reality failure spaces if we cut back our hours? Will no one think of the poor billionaires?

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I think about them all the time. Mostly about different recipes and if they got fat where they sat or if they are like grain fed fattened geese with tasty livers and how much effort it would take to drain the ketamine from their system and if field dressing would take care of it or the cooking process.
Please, we need to say X-hour-week, as a four-day workweek can still be 4 10h days in a week or even more.
The aim is the reduction of work-time, not the restructuring of those hours.
Yep, and that 4x10 nonsense happens every damn time.
32hr workweek, as a transitionary period towards a 24hr workweek. Dead serious.
No more billionaires, or even hundred millionaires for that matter.
Honestly I'd be happy with the same hours but an extra day off.
An 8 hour work day consumes most of the time around it as well.
I used to work four 10-hour days. HATED it. lol
Looks like the server's having a day off
Why? Because schools are all moving to 4 day school weeks. The opposition to this is parents trying to find daycare for their kids on Fridays.
GOP: "If everyone could switch to 4 day school weeks, the teachers could get 20% pay cuts and we could give out tax cuts!"
(Never mind the fact that Friday is the day teachers fill out paperwork for the individual learning plans that EVERY CHILD now has. Not 'works toward designing them' or 'helping students in anyway', Friday is JUST for the paperwork surrounding it.)
Specially with all this heat!
