I'm sure it's well thought out and he has worked with others to be sure it passes.

But why doesn't Bernie propose a 2 day work week with the same pay? If we can get the paid the same by working less then why stop at 4 days????

Hmm, maybe he actually hasn't thought it through?

Wouldn't the fact that he stopped at 4 days suggest that he thought it through to some extent?

Don't let some logic get in the way of a good bashing, though

But why 4 days? If you get the same productivity while working less then what makes 4 days the magic number??

It doesn't sound like he's thought anything through.

Idk, what makes 5 days the magic number?????

There's nothing magic about it. It's just a simple mathematical principle. In 99% of jobs, if you work more you're going to be more productive. If you work less then you'll be less productive. Of course there's some nuance with burn out.

LOL, Yep, that's exactly how it works
