      Maximum working hours* which is not the same.

      Americans sign up for jobs at 40 and if they’re salaried they almost all work at least 45, and are then expected to be contacted out of work.

      Be honest, that’s not where millions of Americans are. 3 jobs, no overtime, ludicrous living costs is where many Americans are.

      It’s worse than that. They’re reducing 2 hours per year until they reach 40, but they’re keeping six work days per week.

      That’s already a problem in Mexico. American immigrants have been moving to the nice parts of Mexico, and they have been inflating the ever living fuck out of the prices there. American money is unmatched, and no Mexican business is going to dumb enough to let it slip by. They’ve been increasing prices and catering to Americans to the point where Mexicans are being squeezed out entirely from the equation.

      There are parts of Mexico city where Mexicans are completely priced out. People with houses in the nice parts try to sell them to Americans to get more money. Developers are building condo buildings that cater to American styles, and they’re entirely branded and marketed in English. Businesses in the area notice the increase in Americans walking around and jack up their prices to get a share of the pie themselves, which leads Americans to get another part of the city that’s still cheap to get the most out of their money repeating the cycle. Americans have already been doing this to countries like Spain, Portugal, and Italy, but now they’re doing it to Mexico too.

        theoretically, the whole population should be able to profit from the influx of money if it’s properly distributed. that seems to me to be more an issue with taxation than with overtourism.

      That’s the beauty of the Mexican project. They’re going to accommodate the refugees in a way Americans refused to do. And they’re going to become a better country for it

    Hopefully, Mexico will actually achieve the American Dream, rather than being dragged into a nightmare by their capitalists.

      Let’s pretend the Queen of England didn’t just finally fuck off or all the other female authoritarians/war criminals, let’s remove her agency and attribute any good she does to being a woman.

      It’s more sexist than the implication itself.

        Margaret Thatcher was UK’s Reagan. Everything she didn’t ruin herself; she readied to be ruined later.

        It wasn’t because she was a woman. It was because she was a freaking neoliberal.

        It’s also just really fucking annoying that this platitude comes up every time a headline is posted about a woman doing good, as if people are just incapable of thinking it through.

        Neither Clinton nor Harris would have supported this, and in fact, they’d have told their rotating villains to oppose it and claimed powerlessness, as Dems always do. (Which is, in part, why they lost their elections.)

        I personally think they care way more about losing money and influence than hating women.

        The misogyny is just a side gig.

    Fucking bait. Their solution to AI will be everyone works part-time for no more pay. Work hours will get rationed, redistributed in a way wealthy never is.

      if there’s less supply of human labor, the price for it goes up. --> higher pay per hour

    “The reform does not mandate two rest days per week. […] create the conditions under which a four-day working week becomes practically achievable for the first time for a significant portion of the Mexican workforce.”

    Mexico is one of the few countries with only a 1-day weekend, along with:

    • Colombia, Bolivia, Equatorial Guinea, Honduras, Hong Kong, North Korea, Pakistan, Philippines, Uganda, and India (Sundays);
    • Djibouti (only 40h/w tho), Palestine, Iran, and Somalia (Fridays); and
    • Nepal (only 42h/w tho) (Saturdays).
