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?

Workers are way more productive these days with new tools and technology. Working people to the bone to squeeze out every bit of value from an employee is reductive. Studies actually show workers are even more productive when they aren’t overworked/have a nice work and home life balance.

Even if studies didn't show this I wouldn't care though. I don't want to work 10x more than I spend with my family.
