Another great argument for the 32hr work week!

Actually probably most of them died, but their children and grandchildren were able to go to college and get safer jobs with better benefits

The only social media I have is LinkedIn. Stuff rots your brain, as you guys prove here every day

Was it a reality for a lot of companies when people worked seven days a week down in the coal mines, getting black lung if they were lucky enough not to get killed earlier in a mine cave-in? Times change, and thank goodness for that!

Whoosh

They want to be paid for a full time job. If a full time job can now be done in 32 hours, then that’s what they should be paid for. I mean there was a time you had to work weekends too. Maybe you got Christmas and Easter off. Did we all accept a 30% pay cut when they invented the weekend?

Not too hard to disappear for a while in these more remote states. But keeping it up — now that’s something very few can do

Man this is cringey, Jerry

Certainly the messenger is annoying, but I think it’s fair to ask whether the 40 hour work week is necessary any longer. With so many increases to efficiency and productivity why do we still need it? And if we do still need it, then what’s this all for? Technology, AI, work from home, etc etc, what good is any of it if there’s no corresponding reduction in the work grind?

These ‘tards believe anything they see on the right wing social media ragefest cycle

I didn’t say nothing about guns, bub. To me, that discussion is largely irrelevant unless we repeal the 2nd Amendment, which will never happen. So why bother imo

Here’s another little gem for you guys, that I learned in middle school: Just because you saw it on the internet (aka twitter, TikTok or Facebook), doesn’t mean it’s true.

You guys are hilarious It’s not like there are federal swat teams sitting around in every corner of the country, ready to go on a moment’s notice. You watch too many movies and they’re not realistic. Man it’s hilarious how you guys have to constantly relearn lessons we teach to our children

Pretty impressive: Washington, DCCNN — The US economy expanded at a remarkably strong pace in the third quarter, despite interest rates at their highest levelin 22 years. Gross domestic product, a measure of all goods and services produced in the economy, grew at an annualized 4.9% rate in the third quarter, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. GDP is adjusted for inflation and seasonal swings. That’s well above the second quarter’s 2.1% pace and faster than economists’ expectations of a 4.3% rate. Robust consumer spending fueled growth in the third quarter, a sign of the economy’s surprising resilience in the face of tougher borrowing costs and persistently high inflation. Spending grew from July through September by an annualized rate of 4%, its strongest pace since the fourth quarter of 2021. Americans splurged both on goods and services. US GDP expanded in the July-through-September period at its fastest pace in nearly two years, defying expectations in the aftermath of the spring banking crisis that the US economy would slip into recession by now. Not only have US consumers continued to open up their wallets, but other parts of the economy are also displaying some resilience.
