  • If it’s not a 32hr workweek, I don’t wanna hear about it. There are some jobs in tech on indeed that are advertising 4x10s, fuck that shit.

    This article specifically states 4x32. So that’s good. Should be in the title but I’m a pedant.

    Everyone should, every job should be able to take advantage of this. Hire more people to compensate.

    Billionaires don’t want this, so I’m super pessimistic. But if we keep talking about it and pushing for it, maybe someday…

    Edit: 4x8 not 4x32…














  • Eh, I don’t think this is the best solution.

    The assumption is as soon as you turn 17 you’re smart enough and have the critical thinking skills to navigate social media without it negatively affecting you? Kinda dumb.

    There could be an argument that at least try to block it while young peoples brains are still developing, maybe there’s benefit in that.

    Older people than 16 are still duped by propaganda, and become addicted to social media, and all the negative consequences.

    What we need is regulation imo. Good, smart, progressive, altruistic regulation that is for the benefit of all. Ain’t gonna happen though, because sOcIaLiSm and “mUh FrEeDoMs”.






  • I agree about the chaotic wildcard bit, but I fear he’s worse than the bad “organized establishment” Republicans of old.

    He’s anti establishment, but very much in the wrong direction. Typical conservatives want to exploit the poor and working class to get money and power. But they’re smart enough to think long term and not completely destroy the system, so as to actually keep all the money and power long term.

    Trump isn’t like this, I dont think he’s smart enough as many may agree. He is a failure, a failed businessman with many silly and ridiculous failed business ideas. He makes stupid decisions and doesn’t think long term. He wants money and power, but will make stupid decisions to get it, regardless of long term consequences. This is what I see, at least.

    This is why the fascism word is spread around, as a realistic fear. Look at our supreme court. He doesn’t care about any of the repercussions of his decisions.

    I’m arguing that trump is worse than the horrible Republicans that are now rejecting him, rightly so, as much as I hate them too. Your comment almost seemed to say he’s not as bad, but I could be wrong.
