So if we make and sell 100 widgets a week, then we cut it by 20%, shouldn’t we expect a 20% decrease is profits?
Whoa whoa whoa… What kind of logic is that? Sound and reasonable? You need to apply flawed and useless logic.
Not necessarily. Shutting down a production line would also reduce costs, for example.
@@fdm2155 Payroll didn’t decrease.
And ironically, payroll averages about 20%.
You’ll never make JIT deliveries.
@mattmarzula I agree. Bernie wants to give China another reason to eat our lunch.
“So can you have my widgets by Friday???”
“Sure can!!! But we don’t open on Friday, so Tuesday’s okay, right?? Hello?????”
@@fdm2155in business the point is to make more money not spend less.. spending less will make less as spending more will make more
A four day work week would mean that everyone works 10 hours a day for a full time 40 hour work week. So, no would be the answer😂😂😂😂😂😂
he said 32 hours a week outside of this clip.
@@empiricalskeptic 32 hours a week, you would make less money
Never take advice from a Communist who never had a job outside of government.
This does not work, fool.
The blob controls all ie the elites….
this has to be on the table because of artificial intelligence. Lots of work might still be done but not by humans necessarily
I am incapable of working 10 hour days.
he says 32 hour work week outside of this small clip
@@BarbaricSlothpeople not working 40hrs they working 45 -50 + ur weeks so how is 32 going to work
@@B86432 Right now it is 40 hours as the minimum and overtime after the 40 hours. What he is talking about is making it 32 hours as the minimum and still having overtime.
Wrong,40 hours or no insurance
lets decrease goods/services but keep the money supply the same. Sounds like a way to increase inflation.
sounds like you cant grasp the concepts the Senator is talking about
@@empiricalskepticGo on…
Mr Communist
He’s not wrong. Workers productivity has increased tremendously in the past 40 years. Nearly all of the profit from the increase has benefitted executives and shareholders while wages lagged behind cost of living. Reducing work hours is one way to balance the scales.
@@fdm2155 Mr Communist
Communist? This is for the people. Do you even know why we work 8 hours days? 5 days working and 2 days off is ok to you? Low wages and heavy stress load.
@cloudydayzgoneaway8798 to fund my social security so I can get my money back
That’s the way it’s always been always will be. if the worker don’t like the pay then find another job
incredibly ignorant of you. It “used to be” that 7 year olds worked like slaves for pennies a day 7 days a week in this country. We changed that around for some reason.
@@empiricalskepticThe reason was to free up jobs and increase wages for adults. Look around. Adults are working kid jobs wanting $20 an hour for them without advancing up the ladder in the industry. I went to an Arby’s. The guy on the fries was pushing 70 and the youngest person there was in their mid 20’s and they were all severely overweight. It wasn’t like that 15 years ago.
No ones forcing these people to work bad jobs. Good and bad in every facet of life. Luckily you can choose.Much easier to complain about life rather then put in the hard work to change it.
I’m 53 and find no reason why people should complain about work… I didn’t, cause it paid my bills…. That is unless you want migrants doing all the work and it seems no one wants to do that anymore
@@mattmarzula your exactly right !!
I already work 4 10 hour days at Ford…..Then they throw in the mandatory Saturdays….
@@BarbaricSlothLess work and more pay does not a competitive market make…
Arent unions wonderful.
@@mattmarzulaYoure not alone God wants a personal relationship with you through his only son Jesus
@@badbob6689Youre not alone God wants a personal relationship with you through his only son Jesus
Working keeps you alive and actually keeps you doing stuff instead of watching people do their job. Sleep when you’re died.
I’d like to imagine a 32 hour work week or 4 10 hours work day, it’ll never happen but I wouldn’t mind working 32 hours full time plus an extra 8 hours ot 😂
😂🤣😅😆🫏🫏….🐴+💩= Bernie Sanders…..
Mr Communism at it again. This dude needs to leave already
*** billionaire simp.
Guy is so clueless it’s unbelievable he thinks people work 40hrs 😂😂
4- 10 hrs ON THE JOB days might work. 0800 to 1900 with 1 hr lunch or 1/2 hr lunch and 2- 15 min breaks. 40 hr work week. O/T Fridays at discretion of employer needs. Of course marxist commie Barney never worked a real job in his entire life, so what does he know???
People need to work lol
Work from home, work 4 days a week more pay lol
We should prevent Republicans from demanding a perpetual underclass.
Yah, under bidenomics we have 29 million fewer full time jobs and people are working multiple jobs. Thanks bernie you are making things worst.
I agree. At least Bernie is on to something that benefits a beter life style for all families, even if we work longer hours on the 3 days I’d vote for it. 😊
That actually makes sense though why’s everyone hating. Tons of companies that are building things are focusing on making themselves and others who can make them much richer, richer. Aka large companies with millions to spend. Once they start making robots to replacing working people, what are we gonna do? It’s better to have them make technologies that make civilian life directly better, instead of letting it maybe be produced because someone might think they can make lots of money for it.
Shorter week translate to lower checks
Not if you work longer hours. 8 hrs x 5 days=40 hrs ➡️ 10 x 4=40
I thought the object was to work more so you get paid more. And the stop billionaires from saving money.
@@darkprince56The object is to stop billionaires from saving money. Look at Elon Musk he got rich by you not working getting along with people inventing stuff. What does he have over 200.000.000.000.00 billion now. The object is to make money.
What an issue creator. He needs to be booted out.
God forbid someone in congress actually puts forward interesting ideas.
im ok with 4, 8 hour days. for the same pay.
If someone makes 15.00 an hour for a 40 hour work week that’s 600.00 so their hourly wage would have to raise to 19.00 an hour to get 608.00 estimate. Business’s won’t do that or they will and cut benefits if they get health insurance etc.
Then they would be looking for a second job or third.
Another stupid idea that won’t pass and won’t work.
Good Mr sanders you will create more lazy people (communists) isn’t work look around you will destroy america
I work 5 days a week 14 hours a day. Sometimes 6 days 14hrs a day, so everyone can eat. Im a truck driver. Get outta here bernie.
So you enjoy having no free time? I don’t get the hate. Who brags about 14 hour days
@MsStevo2000 ofcourse i have free time. I also have a thing that’s missing from most people called “work ethic”. And im pretty set financially. I also have pride in knowing my fellow countrymen and women eat because I show up.
Nobody wants to work
failure to progress is not helpful, offering flexible jobs are the best option we have, what is the bigger problem is massive taxation and reduction of products.
I need the week would have 8 days to work all of them and still won’t be enough.
We can barely fund our proxy wars
Stop taxing the life out of us.
Im not a huge fan of this guy, but I can get behind this
Or stagger shifts… productivity is not affected…
I do 4×10. But have to take a weekend day and I work mids
It’s a election year people, the democrats are in trouble. They don’t give a rats butt about you, they just need your vote
This is lame…im a workhorse, im going to work 60+hrs a week regardless of how society sees it…instead of this they should make a bill that allows workers to renegotiate wages if you work 50+hrs a week consistently.
Youre not alone God wants a personal relationship with you through his only son Jesus
This guy is nuts
This is a bad idea. You know workplaces are going to find ways around this. Less benefits, less raises, less employees. I would prefer 10 hour days and three days off
I like this idea
Wow he is a communist !
He still alive ?
Bernie is a legend. Shift things left just as the right did. Bring some balance
Coming from a guy that never worked a public job in his life.
Commie
Expect massive layoffs.
Or people lose benefits and get paid less but hire more people to regain the lost work/production of products.
So, do kids go to school only 4 days a week?
Just stop taxing us, we are taxed like crazy!!
All lazy people agree with this idi
This POs never worked.
Sounds like Biden and rest of government
I like the idea of 4 10 hour days. Same number of hours. More time to be productive on days you work. An extra day off every week to actually enjoy life. Sounds pretty ideal to me
Every proposal of his will destroy business, wreck the economy and keep people poor😂
Why not, Congress only works 126 days per year, so why shouldn’t we get a break?
They could do a number of things. One could be to reduce the base wage so that including 8 hours of overtime will result in the same weekly paycheck.
They could also reduce the hours thereby excluding the employees from the employer provided medical plans. Instead of 4 employees working 40 hours per week, they hire 8 employees working 20 hours per week. Less than 30 hours is part time, and they don’t have to include part time employees in health plans.
Two work arounds I just figured out in five minutes.
Says a man who doesn’t know anything about running a business. Why would any business pay employees a 40-hour work week salary if they only work 32 hours?
Coming from someone who’s never worked a day in his life, and lived off us taxpayers. Bernie needs to expire.
Congress gets big fat checks for hardly getting anything done & have long vacations
