Given that the research shows a four-day workweek gets better results for everyone (including employers), it’s worth asking why we don’t have one–who is preventing it?
The most important outcome of this, of course, is that it makes for better worker conditions.
I’m not 100% sure, but I think this picture was AI generated.

A handful of countries have four-day workweeks.
If we’re not going to get rid of the system in the United States where we all have to work for the majority of our lives just to survive, then the four-day workweek is a good starting compromise.
We could easily do so if not for the billionaires.
Yeah, I think they’re banning/blocking using AI right now. Either that, or they literally have the moderators fully on board with their Right-wing campaign.
If you really want to see what things like banning/suspension do, check out your Contributor Quality Score (CQS) here when you can: https://old.reddit.com/r/cqs/
I went from ‘Highest’ to ‘Lowest’ with one ban, and as far as I can tell, your CQS has an impact on the visibility of your posts.
I don’t trust any of these polls.
There is no system of government in the world that has been able to stand up to individuals with billions and billions of dollars.
The billions and billions of dollars have all the power and no system can escape that power.
We need to stop the billionaires.
Things aren’t bad for him yet, and that’s the only way he knows if things are bad.
Exhorder once got kicked off a tour with Dead Horse in the 1990s because one of their band members took a shit in a styrofoam container and put it on the lunch buffet with all the other food. The first person who opened the container was not amused.
Investigators were alerted to his accounts after finding an unusually high number of log-ins and failed log-ins from an unfamiliar devices, locations, or networks. That information is tracked by Google, per the affidavit. Other unusual activity was traced through Payne’s VPN or network provider.
So, Google stopped him, and his VPN provider. I’d like to know who his VPN provider was.
Here’s what an auto-translation gave me: “If you are a squirrel, then I am a sinner.”
They’re openly rejecting court order and legal precedent.
Unless someone starts enforcing these court orders, they’re just going to keep doing things.
They’re running the Nazi playbook. Word for word, step by step, just updated with newer propaganda.

This is so good.
1990s TNG had a good heart.
Yeah? I’ll do this if I’m forced to use Outlook for work again.
Other than the paltry poverty-wages they pay employees, almost every dollar that locals spend in a big box store leaves town and travels straight into some billionaire pocket.
I’m interested in knowing this too as I’d like to migrate everything I do to a non-invasive platform.
That was a great feeling–taking something locked in, programmed, something that used intentionally deceptive description and design, and finding a way to make it your own. To, basically, break the deceptive design and make the device better by “breaking” it.
When I rooted my first Android phone I felt that way. It’s a shame how much of the computing power in phones is used for nothing but harvesting our data and profiting from our use of the computer.
There’s so much more we need to break now.
This is possible. Republicans are getting yelled at by their constituents. No one’s tried to kill them yet, but they probably think that’s coming soon.
I think it’s possible for twenty Republicans to get on board with this.
What a cool idea!
