    We need this so fucking bad. As a species, not just America or the wealthy nations only. Everyone.

    And this should just be a transitionary period down to a 24 or less hour work week. Fuck slaving away at shit jobs just to make billionaires.

      We need this so fucking bad.

      Of course we do, so do the corporations, though they don’t realize it. With happier workers you get more profits.

      Call your House of Representative member and let them know that.

      If we citizens don’t apply the pressure, nothing will happen.

      And if your cynical about doing that, try it anyway, just as an experiment, to see what happens. Hell, even make a YouTube video about your experience doing so, for content.

      Just say "Please let my representative know that I am in favor of the Bernie Sanders bill (Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act) for a 32 hour work week."

      It’s just a phone call. A 32 hour work week is worth a single phone call, right?

    Bernie: Here’s a bill that will help literally everyone. People waste less of their lives at work, and productivity goes up massively for the corporate overlords. There is no downside here for anyone.

    Everyone: Shut up, hippy.

      They’ve been telling him that since he was being arrested for protesting for civil rights and Joe Biden was fighting against school busing…

      Their stupid bullshit hasn’t stopped him yet

        Bernie is still the only politician I have donated to but to be fair to Biden, bussing was met with violent protests and even black activists criticized it for weakening black communities. There were good reasons to be against that method without being against desegregation.

      Don’t listen to them, when they tell you that. As far as you know, might even be an astroturfer, trying to kill this in the crib.

      Call your House of Representative member and let them know that you want this bill to become law.

      If we citizens don’t apply the pressure, nothing will happen.

      And if your cynical about doing that, try it anyway, just as an experiment, to see what happens. Hell, even make a YouTube video about your experience doing so, for content.
