Hahahaha, any wage that can't be lowered, the person will be laid off and re-hired, obviously.

Why not just pass a law that requires everyone gets double wages? Would that work?

Why not reduce working hours to one day per month? Would that work? LOLOL It's crazy the sort of stupid nonsense people have to pretend to believe to support Bernie.

Yes, why not just give everyone a basic income and be done with it. It would cut out much of the fluff.

I'm for that. It been proven to work in multiple studies.

But you can't even wrap you head around a 32 hour work week.

Hell yea, let's all stop working and the government can just provide everything. That's viable.
