Hot take this is the right line of thought. Restructure society so we work less, not so that we can work more.

Hot take this is the right line of thought. Restructure society so we work less, not so that we can work more.
- sahila 4y agoBut doesn’t this drive home OP’s point further? For people who work in service jobs - healthcare, schools, shopping, and restaurants/cafes, for example - how would you approach working less? People want to go out and eat and places are already struggling to hire. Parents want in person learning for their young kids.
- kjkjadksj 4y agoPay people more. Wages have been flat for 50 years for these positions.
- dinosaurdynasty 4y agoThe only places struggling to hire are places not paying enough.
- Ancalagon 4y agoPay people more, hire more employees. The market will decide which businesses remain viable. I am honestly hopeful demand for places like restaurants decreases or the market becomes less viable because of the labor shortage, simply because that industry has mistreated its employees for so long and many have moved on the bigger and better things for themselves.
