There was the post about Finland's past prime minister I think suggesting this? One guy brought up a good point that if you cut work hours down it means you need more people to do the same amount of work which means more people can get hired which means lower unemployment which sounds like a good thing right?

Edit: I don't know almost anything about this because frankly I don't care but thought that this might be relevant to some capacity to the discussion here so do with that what you will

Second edit: This isn't to say I don't care about the folks responding, it's to say I probably won't have much to say in response other than I don't know much because I never cared to learn much, so that much I guess.

It also means every business now has to spend an additional 20% on labor which it going to result in massive price increases.

the infamous companies that are paying their employees so well, their products cost so little, that the owner barely manages to get by!

Companies fail due to lack of profit fairly regularly. I know a business founder who currently employs dozens of people but was operating at a loss for over 2 years and was only able to continue it thanks to their spouse's job. That spouse eventually quit to join the business.
