To be fair, if you can't handle working 40 hours a week then you are lazy and I look down on you as a person...sorry breh.:yeshrug:


It's not necessarily about what you can handle,but more of what you can get .


Technically most people could handle working 60 hour work weeks(it ain't slavery and it isn't torture) so should we do that too?

And we wonder why we don't have 28 and 35 hour work weeks like every other rich Western country
Aye man, listen - I hear you. I do...I really do. It's just that it personally irks me when I see a broke, lazy ass nikka talking that shorter hours/higher minimum wage bullshyt when they don't want to do the bare minimum at their job to begin with. Listen, Europe is great and all that but their work culture in general is different. Yeah, they may take their 2 hour lunches but at the same time their working hours are a lot more hectic because they actually put in work. Half the work day in the U.S. is spent bullshytting around so it kind of evens out in my eyes.:yeshrug:

Working less hours could also mean more people employed and wider spread of income amongst the general population. The question is will efficiency be maintained during that shift transition from one employee to the other?

I mean...what else would I expect from someone thoroughly indoctrined into the American way :yeshrug:.

It's not a matter of WHO CAN or CAN'T. Of course all of us can. It's when you step back and realize we shouldn't HAVE too.

the only reason we even get WEEKENDS off is because of the efforts of LABOR UNIONS in the turn of the century

put some respect on unions and socialist workers movements, the reason we're where we are now in this country is because we abandoned our own interests in favor of capitalist propaganda.

The populace must be kept busy working as much as possible. Idle minds will begin to actually think!

If people weren't working 40, 50, 60 hours per week, they may begin talking and realizing they have a lot in common. May even get the idea to do things in their spare time that are typically left for people vested in those areas and thus more likely to blindly follow academia.

Imagine if people could live off working 20 hours a week? They may want to do things like research the moundbuilders personally. Go to places like Egypt and find ":stopitslime: wait a gotdayum minute. This shyt not white". All sorts of things we don't have time for now.

More importantly, people with time begin to get closer to their spiritual self. Be able to wean yourself from all these material goodies.

Eh, nobody HAS to do anything. You can work 28 hours a week if you want to - just find a part time job:yeshrug: An employer doesn't have to pay you what you think you deserve as long as there is somebody that will do it for less:yeshrug:There will always be that somebody within reason, btw:yeshrug:It's just how America is - you're ether working for somebody or you're that somebody. I don't see anything wrong with it - it's competition. I don't understand why everybody feels like they deserve everything in this country without doing shyt to make it happen. Last time I checked, we live in a country with a functioning economy and not some make believe paradise island where your every wish is granted just because.

If you think about it, most office jobs or jobs where you're driving around; people are only doing 3-4 hrs of real work, rest of the time its bullshytting around.

Pretty much. When I was a computer instructor, at least a good portion of my time involved internet browsing and looking "busy".
