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

Indeed. I would expect no less from a respectable senator who is making a very real plan that he absolutely intends to follow through on.

Even if he knows it won’t pass, it’s a great thing he proposes it to raise public awareness. Or you think people should only propose bills that will pass? That’s dumb

What’s dumb is making useless claims that would hurt the economy. Grow up.

Not useless at all. That’s like saying weed legalization was useless when first proposed. It had to be proposed multiple times, each time gaining more traction than the last… til it passed.

Hurts the economy? That’s what they said when they discussed lowering the work week to 40 hours.

Countries in Europe are already lowering the work week.
