4 day weeks ARE awesome, if you can afford them. But at scale it creates huge problems for an employer. It takes an additional 25k workers to perform the same work @ 32 hrs/wk as 100k employees @ 40hrs/wk. This is more than $370 million in extra insurance costs on avg.

Magic money hides a lot of sin, but it tends to magically disappear at the first whiff of a recession. Enjoy paying unemployment to those extra 25k workers, on top of everything else hemorrhaging cash during such a time.

Whatever. The government can just print more. Feel the Bern.

A 32 hr week isn’t the horrible-est idea I’ve ever heard. 60hr/wks would save employers lots of cash, too, and I sure don’t advocate that. But reducing hours introduces risks and expenses that must be addressed.

There’s a nice balance that isn’t really necessary with removing corporate protections and cultivating a return to family-owned shops which would solve many other social issues, but that’s a massive overhaul for another day...
