As AI companies rave about how their products are revolutionizing productivity, Senator Bernie Sanders wants the tech industry to put its money where its automated mouth is.
We deserve a 4-day workweek regardless of AI. Let’s not move the ball here.
We should already be past the four-day default. Three work, four off, would shift the week balance to be more human.
We deserve UBI.

Bernie’s the only politician of national stature who’s even talking about shortening the work week, and this framing sounds like common sense to a lot of people. If the idea gets into the national consciousness, then we can move further into the work week we actually deserve. Let’s not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.
U.S. Capitalism will NOT let that happen.
If a 4-day work week was ever actually implemented, workers will only be paid for 4 days, effectively rendering them underemployed/part time/no benefits.
People would still be forced to get a second job.
Given the amount of unreviewed AI slop people keep pushing to critical production code, we’ll have the appearance of being more productive while in reality we will be less productive.
Didn’t realise you worked at my place, Ascrod.
it doesn’t. why is he paying lip service to a lie that’s just hiding the motive to drive up unemployment and keep wages in the dark ages?
