Pitch an air travel tightening as a pro worker reform in that now your boss has to either let you telecommute like would be perfectly reasonable or give you like 2 weeks out of the office to go on a fun train voyage across the country Like back in the day people used to just gently caress off for like months at a time because that's what traveling to Europe meant lol

Lastgirl posted:i think poor people should not die and liberals should go gently caress themselves....?? By saying that poor people shouldn't die, you're insulting the people who believe their deaths are necessary. This is very rude and we don't tolerate rudeness in D&D. Dog Toothbrush posted:it’s not just dnd. try bringing up how “trumps” space force was approved by democrats in the bad thread It makes sense when you realize that for many liberals politics is basically just a vector of entertainment that consists of mocking the wacky things Republicans say and do. To them, leftists seem like people coming into a discussion about Star Wars to talk about how Disney is bad with labor rights or something.

Pennsylvania and the western us have mountains and poo poo. Bit of a problem for national scale rail projects although not an insurmountable one. Another proposal: in addition to mandatory over time pay for every hour beyond

realistically though, with advancements in efficiency the "full time" 40 hour work week is entirely antiquated and should be reduced to 27-30 with a 0% reduction in pay this would also help to boost the gently caress out of employment numbers at non-gig employment jobs this will never happen unless we guillotine all billionaires though... which is another thing we should 100% due

Bernie said he'd consider a 32 hour work week, which is probably one of the most difficult things for him to pass, but at least it'll get people talking about it. Most people are so resigned to the 40+ hour week that they've never even considered something else is possible

something I never hear people talk about is how the hours have lengthened from 40 hours including lunch to 40 hours excluding lunch. the phrase “9 to 5” doesn’t make any sense any more because everyone is expected to work eight hours a day then take an unpaid break so it’s a 9 to 6 or an 8 to 5!
