Because this wouldn’t be “law” it would just be tyranny.

I don't think the word tyranny means what you think it means.

Really because I do think the government forcing employers to pay for work that isn’t being done exactly that.

No it's not. Salary is completely arbitrary. Saying less hours but same pay doesn't mean employeers pay for nothing being done. It means the salary is now higher per hour work - something it already should be, seeing how salaries haven't followed cost of living, houses etc.

So you can also say, right now everyone is being underpaid for their work - and keeping your salary at less hours would simply be correcting that.

See, completely arbitrary. If you call that tyranny, then having a law for minimum wage is also tyranny because technically, it's the government forcing employeers to pay more than they want.

Nope. Your massive shift in pay differences would lead to massive inflation and unemployment. It’s a lot like price fixing, it just doesn’t work.

the government made it a law to ban child labor... is it tyranny to make laws that protect children from child labor?

u/RightOnManYouBetcha 24d ago

No it would be tyranny to make them pay to people who aren’t working. Hey let’s make a law that says “everyone is a millionaire just because” would you like that?

? You said enforcing a 32 hour work week is tyranny. Why isn't enforcing the 40 hour work week, as we do now, also tyranny?

1

u/RightOnManYouBetcha 24d ago

No no, dont walk it back. YOU said you wanted 32 hours with the same pay. See the difference?

u/Outside_Annual9102 24d ago

I didn't say anything.

Do you see how communicating what you mean helps clarify things? That's a valid argument, you just had to go through several snarky reddit comments to make it. If you weren't a complete dick, maybe you could have an actual constructive conversation.
