People said all the same things about the 5 day work week before it was introduced. And the 8 hour day. IMO the economy absolutely can support it, but it may require some wealth distribution to make it work.
- BuckRogers 5y agoIf it's not doable in the age of fiat and 10-20% of the workforce actually producing things we actually need (food, housing), and doing it at extreme scale.. then it'll never happen. What I mean to say is that it is doable. Most of us are doing work that serves no real need other than contrived needs. It's absurd to think that given no one dies if I don't do my job, that we can't go to 4-10s. I could die tomorrow myself, and nothing changes. That's how inconsequential many employees and thus businesses are today.
