“Oh, look! An eagle!” Has lived rent free in my head for over 20 years now lol.

One of the main ideas behind the 4 day work week is that workers have become much more efficient, but with no compensation for that increase in efficiency. A worker in 2023 is going to get a lot more work done in the sane 8 hours than someone in the 70s/80s due to increases in technology, automation, software, etc.

Pair that with the fact that the lions share of profits head upwards in business (ie, CEO/management compensation has increase way more than hourly workers), then it stands to reason that we can afford to pay those workers that extra day if we equalize the pay increases across the board instead of concentrating it in the ownership.

My GFs go to is a hawaiian pizza… with olives, and blue cheese dip on the side.

Just let things grow organically and share in other bass communities on other sites.

There are way more of us than there are of them. Let them scream impotently into the void and hear nothing come back.

Sure, maybe they will rally some numbers and try ti make noise, but ultimately they will just get bored and move on as things aren’t as monolithic here in the fediverse as they are on Reddit/Facebook/Twitter/etc.

Fair enough. I no longer sail the high seas, but you do you, matey. Arrrrr.

You can rent a movie through Google Play. I do that can’t find the movie I want to watch on any of the streaming services I’m subscribed to.
