Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) sat down with Stephen Colbert this week to promote his new book It’s OK To Be Angry About Capitalism and was asked if he’ll miss Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ), who announced this week that she would not be seeking re-election. “Not at all,” he told Colbert without missing a beat.Sanders particularly took issue with Sinema’s lack of support on Biden’s Build Back Better plan, telling Colbert, “We worked with the president on something called Build Back Better,” he said. “We had zero Republican support. We had 48 people in the Democratic caucus prepared to transform this country on behalf of the working class of America.”“Two people, Sinema being one, Manchin the other, refused to support it,” continued. “We couldn’t pass it. So no, I will not miss Senator Sinema.”

How would this work? I effectively have to take a 20% cut in production from my crews. So, everything is going to go out the door 20% more expensive. Sorry guys. Us small biz’s aren’t sitting on that big of a nut.

Sorry guys. Us small biz’s aren’t sitting on that big of a nut.I think the crews would most likely end up being paid 1.5x for that 5th day, so everything out the door would only be 10% more expensive.

Maybe go back to school.
You have to pay them the same for 32 as 40 used to cost you plus the overtime
In the places where they’ve pilot programmed this they find that employees tend to be more productive on a 4 day work week. You would be foolish to assume that your employees are working anywhere near the efficiency you are assuming. I’m not suggesting they will work 20% more efficiently I’m just saying it’s not as bad as you think

I like the ultimate end point of it, but the transition will put a lot of small guys out of biz and will probably cause a recession, imo. It will cause a lot of small guys to jack prices, ppl will not be able to afford services, and round we go, at least in the short/med term.
