So a 3-day workweek for everyone, right? Right..?

Well Keynes was predicting the possibility of 15 hour weeks back in 1930 thanks to technological advancements and a preference for leisure over labour. I recently re-read his paper "Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren" - https://www.econ.yale.edu/smith/econ116a/keynes1.pdf

Site won't connect with https, this works for me.

He was right, MANY people put in way less than 40 hours of what he would have considered actual work. Scrum Masters, DEI Officers, Management Consultants are not real jobs for the most part. They are mostly in meetings saying vague buzzwords.

Of course, and with a 60% pay, because why should be the employee the one who gonna reap em profits.

Surely we should expect that to decimate the B2C industry in general? Companies will be chasing fewer "dollars" after all...

So then we can get 2 or 3 jobs at once
