This is fine as long as you realize that the price of most things will rise. If an employer has to hire additional people to provide the service hours required the net effect is that cost is pasted onto you.

    I think Bernie believes his own BS but he’s not very smart.

    It’s all about the leftist approach to things. Sound great. Feels good. But never consider the overall effects. Small brains operate on “feels”. Intelligent people operate on facts

      As a left-aligned person I am fascinated by this perspective. For me, I consider not caring about people to be evil, not intelligent.

        Good point. “Caring about people and feeling good” is more important than the results of policies that in the end make the average person worse off. But you can always blame someone else for the policy after the results are in.

      I work 10-20 hours a week. Some weeks 2-3 hours. A few weeks 60 hours. Most weeks 10.

      If they cut our work week from 40-32. I’d be forced to do 32. No thanks.
