Is the current 40hw/8h socialist? Do you prefer employment law to not set age limits so 10 year olds can mine again?
Socialism is something else not to be confused with labor standards or water safety or building code rules or parking fines or mail delivery.
- xwowsersx 7y agoYou're letting your true colors show here by getting all bothered by the term socialism. It's a form of government, nothing more nothing less. I didn't say anything about how I felt about socialism, nor did I say anything to suggest there not be age limits for labor. What an absurd straw man. I stand by my original point that if the goal of such proposals is to reduce total time spent working in absolute terms that the success of such proposals depends greatly on the form of government that exists in the country it's being proposed.

- s1artibartfast 7y agoIt would be interesting to find out how many US workers actually do 40/8 Based on this [1] paper, 85% of white collar workers are exempt from the 40 hour week limit. p38560, https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-07-06/pdf/2015-15464.pdf https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2015-07-06/pdf/2015-1...
