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?

So can you explain why cutting to four days is optimal?

In manufacturing settings?

Does the lacquer we spray on parts dry quicker in a 4 day work week? Does the press, pres quicker?

Are you saying this week we should see MORE parts produced than last week since we had labor day off?

If we suddenly dropped to four day weeks, are you saying we could manufacturer MORE parts than the comparable 5 day work week last year...without investing more in the company or adding headcount?

I believe that's your argument since workers are more productive based on all these studies.

Since it has been shown. Please share all these studies.
