It takes about the 15 seconds of thinking through these laws before the holes the size of planets start to appear.
What percentage of Americans work exactly 40 hour work weeks. What percentage of those jobs can be economically supported at 4/5 of the hours. The answer is surely in the millions. it's not 0. but that's much different than it being some universal. All of retail is out which is a big percentage of the 40 or 40+ hour a week hourly cohort.
Maybe it makes sense specifically for government employees or something.
Anyway arguing it is besides the point. it's such a poorly framed ask that there is 0 chance of it happening at scale so no need to fight it.
Also, obligatory to point out that Jacobin makes Fox News look impartial. it's an absolute junk source of journalism.
