The french are quaking 

Well they can test it and if it works I want it too   

also @OG Gaga Stan toughts?

Although apparently this isn’t actually being discussed (?), the idea of reducing the number of days in the workweek is fantastic and is something every country should be implementing! We prioritize “efficiency” in employment to maximize corporate profit, to the extent that workers end up doing the jobs of multiple potential employees and often take their work home with them. Spreading the workload around and employing everyone in the process is a no-brainer in my mind.

So I read it and I still don't get what's fake about it

 

The media may have blown it out of proportion or twisted some facts but she did indeed floated the idea and welcome it's debate so I don't get what what ur saying

 

What am I missing?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title of your thread?

”Finland PM Talks 4 Day Work Week Standard”

 

Since she became PM she hasn’t mentioned nor proposed the idea. You wrote in present tense as if Finnish government is considering it, which they had to clarify and your link is spreading fake news. 

She was not PM when she was “floating the idea” many months ago and you should just change it to talk in general, because it ain’t happening.

If we reduced hours AND workload tho the output would drop too much... I think it would have to be either one or the other

 

I support the idea of everyday people benefiting from increased productivity and reducing stress but I think we still have to be reasonable about how much to reduce work... The world still needs labor to function 

 

Less work means less wealth generated. To some extent we can makeup for that by not letting wealthy hoard it all but there's a limit to how much we could really force

So like I said, this would only be good if somehow they could make companies raise hourly wages to compensate for shorter work weeks. If not people will just get laid less

      I don't know what type of job you have, I-      

OT: Finally some politicians acknowledging the importance of leisure time  . But yes, the wages have to rise to even out the changes  .

I thought the news was accurate given Bloomberg is supposed to be one of the most reliable business news sources

 

It seems like this statement is outdated and old before she was PM according to what @lego is saying

 

If mods wanna close this @Zilla @Kayla @PartySick
