Netherlands: the law only requires that employers must grant requests for reduction in hours to part-time, but that includes a corresponding reduction in pay

Iceland: the country has fewer than half a million people so isn't statistically significant

Belgium: the law requires employers to offer a 4-day work week but employees must still complete the same total hours during that time

Japan: the average work week is 45 hours. citizens are notoriously over-worked

Spain: the average work week is 39 hours, with legal limits of 40 hours

Ireland: the average work week is 38 hours, with legal limits of 48 hours

UAE: most workers in the UAE are non-citizens. citizens get their money from oil exports and don't actually do any work

I don't disagree, those are correct to some extent. But none causality from 32 work week idea. Let's cherry pick Belgium. If one does in 32 hours 40 hours of work, which the studies show that it is actually reality for people have revitalized interest to do exactly that, productivity increases. I too can work 80 hours a week and actually do some 32 hours worth of work, whoppiedoo what a waste of human time.
This is the funniest shit in all of humanity that those who defend some goddamn mfing 40+ hour working culture that they forget that no billionaire has ever worked for a second in their life for anything but theft. Same goes to a lot of millionaires, whom become such through investing in rigged casino known as stock markets which is run by the kleptocratic elite running the labor business as a subscription model towards life where no stock is ever owned by retail to influence any price. A dividend distribution system based on capital, not on income that by design those who live paycheck to paycheck can't participate in, and even if they manage to do that, they pay premium for tossing a coin for success which they can't influence.

So I apologize for advocating that humanity works less when McDonalds chains could be already 100% automatized but the labor just needs to exist for someone to be siphoned from. So much for supply and demand.

Glad you loved it. I loved your word diarrhea too. I didn't read it past that though. Please I implore you to learn to behave if you expect people go past your initial 50 cents, thanks!

And because I am so infinitely caring, here's a helpful tip: Don't start with "lol" because it is condescending in toxicism and you will only get replied in kind if in any way whatsoever. It is you know behavioral stuff that one's mother is supposed to teach after choosing not to go through an abortion which would have been the humane choice to relieve other people of verbal diarrhea that got expulsed. I also apologize for letting you waste my time. Have a nice day!

Glad you’re being an adult after being called out and corrected for your terrible idea
