I know you are a socialist so that's why I brought it up.

like we rly been working as species to accomplish so much, we have machines that can do the work of thousands, built this incredible civilization in a relative flash, but for what? to keep working like mad? idk man

If everyone cut there hours in half we would have a lot of important jobs not done.

Bro do you have me confused with someone else? Lol I’ve never considered myself a socialist and definitely rarely even get in convos like that on here for you to think I was one lol

bro fell for the propaganda damn^

Thats objectively not true

How?

Imagine if all restaurant and retail store staff only worked 20 hours a week tops...

Now do lawyers, doctors, nurses, janitors etc.

hmm maybe but i have seen you say the same anti capitalism rhetoric.

ur right after imaging this I think we should just stop trying to improve our labor conditions

a lot of jobs need more staff. If they had to cap people to 20 hours how would that work?

A lot of hospitals are already understaffed

Tired of mf giving me attitude for just wanting a burger or some s*** so replace retail and restaurants with robots which is impending anyway

Give people UBI and basic food/toiletries/etc maybe even basic apartment type housing

Pay lawyers doctors etc like athletes or celebrities damn near so people still wanna do that

Everyone else now can actually devote their life to something beyond surviving day to day week to week lol.

But too many other systems thrive solely because capitalism/the rat race exists so whether the above would work doesn’t even matter lol

bro u are so dumb

i forgot socialism = nobody works

Again there you go again with “anti capitalism” = “socialism” lol

That’s clever as f*** on their part that they did that to you lol

lmfaoooo

if those jobs offered decent wages they would get filled right up

Where would the money come from to pay for all of this? Because the tax base would shrink if this happened.

idk military budget looking a little bloated to me imo

that would be decreased too if we had UBI and housing food etc free

Workers should get the value they create. Simple.

This thread turned gross :​

Lol

I blame Charlemagne and Jada pinkett

Nobody suggested half but that number you randomly chose does seem to hold up your argument nicely, cant have society collapsing now can we!?

One more day off is doable for most industries, and if anything is a boon to worker productivity and overall health and wellness.

Another problem is that a lot of work is not being appropriately compensated across many industries. Profits are there, it's a failure of regulating mans tendency for greed.
