The Five-Day Office Week Is Dead

A society that puts ordinary people's interest ahead of capital's?

Every worker saying "Friday is off".

I noticed some of the union strikes are asking for a 4 day work week. I hope this can start to change the cultural mindset on this issue. Once almost everyone knows someone working 32 hours a week, people will start to question their assumptions about the 40 hour work week and will want 32 hours for themselves as well.

Nurses and er doctors have been on a 4 or 3 day work week for a long time. But they have to work nights and weekends.

Maybe when chic fil a moves to serving chicken only 4 days a week.

In my European country there is a somewhat common view that there are other kinds of work that also need doing. For instance, taking care of the young and elderly is often done by women in their ‘own’ time. When paid, this is considered work. When unpaid, it is not. However the net benefits to the community are more or less the same and the work needs doing. It may be that society is actually better off when people are wealthy enough to allocate resources to unpaid labor as needs demand.

So much specious reasoning here. Is there even a correlation between economic output and national security across large numbers of countries? If there is, how do we know the relationship is causal? How do you quantify better or worse national security?
