Maybe I'm getting paranoid in my old age, but seeing Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar pushing for a government regulation to limit full-time workers to just 32 hours a week without taking a paycut seems like a massive red flag. Add to that the Biden administration being openly hostile to freelancers and gig work and it feels like our pals on the Left and in the Democratic Party are literally trying to destroy working-class Americans. That or they think this will appeal to Gen-Z; they probably decided to move on from other generations since they've done nothing to improve our lives.
Regardless of their intentions, this sounds like a horrible idea because it's socialism.
Sorry, not even sorry.
Proud to be a cosponsor of the 32-hour workweek bill in the House.

Moving to a 32-hour workweek would increase productivity and improve overall quality of life. Let’s get this done! https://t.co/3jJdTaHvrh
Increase productivity how? Let's say someone works in a factory, how does cutting eight hours of their work time improve their productivity? Add to that these economic illeterates want to force employers to continue paying people the same amount for less work. That sounds like a recipe for disaster in our economy which is just barely treading water as it is.
Socialists are stupid.
You two are awfully benevolent with other people's money.

Maybe you two should consider starting your own business and showing everyone how it's done, since it is such a great idea??
That's because they're socialists.
They are very generous ... with other people's money UNTIL eventually they run out of other people's money. And then the country starts looking like other third-world socialist crap holes.
“The answer to our challenges is …. work less” Are you high?

Is this a trick question? Because I've gotta be honest, it feels like a trick question.
Of course, she's high.
This terrible idea would hurt all the people you think it helps.https://t.co/7fOGKmjfOP

This isn't about helping anyone, this is about growing the government and shrinking industry.
Again, think about who's pushing it. Bernie Sanders and Ilhan Omar.
C'mon.
People can't afford groceries and basic necessities….

Democrats: Lets redefine a fulltime workweek!! 😂😂😂
This. ^
It would decrease productivity. It would cause companies to downsize and heap more work on employees. B101 would be a good start for you. Then Econ101. You obviously have zero business sense, and no idea how the business world works.

I can understand why you support that bill because I imagine 40 hours of herding goats is a lot of work.

*snort*
lol, you don't even work 32 hours a week.

Ironic, ain't it?
