BREAKING: Senator Bernie Sanders calls for a four-day work week. His reasoning is that American workers are 400 times more productive than they were in the 1940s, and CEOs are making around 350 times more than their employees. Robotics and AI are going to take many jobs, while making... show more

I think a 4 day work week would be GREAT and increase human efficiency for sure.

Ed Krassenstein2 years ago

It would definitely increase human relaxation.

DadVanguard2 years ago

Yeah. With AI, we bout to have 0 day work week. 😂

Ed Krassenstein2 years ago

I do think there will be a point where that is true. Resources will be plentiful, and technology will do most the work for us.

Gunther Eagleman™2 years ago

It’s because Democrats are lazy fucks.

Mad Bull America2 years ago

Bernie Sanders has never actually worked

Joshua Walker2 years ago

He’s a socialist, which invalidates his opinion.

JohnBoy2 years ago

As long as I make more money I am ok with it.

Ed Krassenstein2 years ago

I would assume the details would have to be worked out to ensure something like that.

While I dislike this Oldman... A 4-day work week could make us happier, more efficient, and balance work with life better. Sharing tech benefits with workers is a win-win!

American workers are more than 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. But all of the economic gains are going straight to the top. Workers deserve more. It’s time for a 32-hour work week with no loss in pay.

It's shameful that CEOs are making 285 times more than the workers who keep their companies running on starvation wages. We need to take on corporate greed and pass the Tax Excessive CEO Pay Act.

🚨 SOUTH AFRICANS ARE NOT LAZY, THEY ARE CHOOSY! ABAFUN SEBENZA EMAFARM🇿🇦 A representative of the South African Farmers Development Association argued that many farming jobs, particularly sugarcane cutting, pay at least the minimum wage, and in some cases more than general farm labour. His view was that the challenge is not necessarily a lack of jobs, but that many South Africans choose not to take certain types of physically demanding work. Do you agree with that assessment, or do you think wages and working conditions remain the real reason these jobs struggle to attract local workers? Let's debate. 👇🏾

Friedberg’s Ideal Immigration Test: Worker or Welfare? (Or Makers vs Takers) “I'm all about discerning immigration, not on the lines of some cultural definition, but really around that simple framing of are you going to get social support services or are you going to work? Going back to my makers vs takers point, if the primary motivation for an individual to come to this country is to be given benefits, to be given payments, to be given social services, to be given support, I think that that person should be denied immigration. If the primary motivation for the individual to come to the United States is to work to progress themselves, to become a maker, to create things, to work in such a way that they can generate income, save capital, buy things, advance their family's position because they are denied those rights due to the tyranny of the place that they're coming from, then they should be granted immigration status to come to this country and contribute. Because at the end of the day, what people may not like to hear, which is the truth, is that every single one of those people is actually net positive in growing our economy. And everyone thinks it's a zero-sum game with respect to jobs in the United States, and we shouldn't let people into this country that create jobs. But the fundamental truth is that anyone that is productive, meaning they create more value than they take in, grows the economy and more jobs get created, and overall, we all benefit from having those individuals here in this country. And by the way, if you are going to work, you are going to culturally assimilate, because that is what the United States is based on, which is productivity, work hard, create things, and have individual agency, have the ability to progress yourself in this world, in this society. And if you take advantage of that opportunity, you're going to love the American ideals that this country was founded upon.”

Andrew Yang says AI will create new jobs but will destroy millions “AI is going to create many new jobs that we cannot predict. Millions of Americans are going to lose their jobs to AI, both those statements are 100% true” “The issue in my mind is that many of the jobs that are gonna be created are gonna be for different people with different skills than the jobs that got eliminated, and the number of jobs eliminated will be many times higher” “The comparison I make for White Collar folks is when the internet came and did a number on local newspapers. Some people would say, oh, there’ll be new media jobs, which there were…” “But for every 10 local reporters that lost their jobs, maybe you had 3 that then worked at BuzzFeed and now BuzzFeed is disappearing too” “The numbers just don’t match up”

Researchers found that D.C., Maryland, and Virginia are among the places where AI has some of the highest potential to either wipe out or transform jobs. In Maryland, researchers estimate nearly 40% of the workforce is in occupations where AI can do the job. D.C. ranks even higher, with more than 55% of workers in jobs threatened by AI. MORE:

🚨 BREAKING: JD Vance has PERFECT economic messaging for Americans First and proves why he is on track to be 48 🇺🇸 “We had a policy in this country for 40 years of shipping American jobs overseas and hiring foreign workers instead of American workers.” “That has caused the economic stagnation of the American middle class. There was one bright spot in 40 years, and that was the first Trump administration.” “Even though we've made incredible progress, we understand that there's a lot more work to do.” “And the thing that I'd ask for the American people is a little bit of patience. This economy was not harmed in 10 months.” “It took a deliberate four-year administration that was making life harder for everyday Americans, that was importing foreign workers instead of giving jobs to American workers, that was over-regulating, over-taxing, over-spending.” “They were doing everything wrong. And as much progress as we've made, it's going to take a little bit of time for every American to feel that economic boom, which we really do believe is coming.We believe that we're on the front end of it.” “But we also recognize that we've got a lot of work to do to undo the damage that Joe Biden did to the American economy.” “And there was going to be a massive exception to that 40-year trajectory of American decline. And that's the second Trump administration. We just got to keep it going.”

Sanders: The report pointed out that AI and robotics will have a huge impact in eliminating millions and millions of jobs. The CEO of Anthropic warned that AI could lead to the loss of half of all entry-level white-collar jobs. The people who know the most about this are already telling us that we’re going to see the displacement of tens of millions of jobs in the coming decades. Are we prepared to deal with that? The wealthiest people on earth are pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into research and development for AI and robotics. You tell me why they’re doing that. You think they’re doing that because they’re thinking, “Oh man, this is going to improve life for working people, for low-income people”?

Shuler: As a backdrop, the economy isn’t working for working people right now. We have inequality at its highest levels. People are working harder and harder for less. They’re working two and three jobs just to keep up. In the U.S., 40 percent of workers do not have $400 for an emergency. Now put AI on top of that—the insecurity that we are all experiencing, the fact that people are waking up and some new technology is landing in their jobs without training and without having a say. Of course they’re going to be anxious and feel insecure about what the future holds. And so I really think we need to stop and ask, “Who are we doing this for? What are the results we want? And how do we get there?” We get there by including workers in the process. They shouldn’t have to be at the end of the cycle. They should actually be upstream.

🚨 WERE WE MISLED ABOUT FARM WORKERS' PAY Many farm employers comply with the minimum wage, and sugarcane cutters can earn more than general farm labourers. He argued that the bigger challenge is that many South Africans are unwilling to take physically demanding jobs such as bricklaying, grass cutting and sugarcane cutting. If that's true, then perhaps the debate isn't only about wages, but also about the type of work people are willing to do. Do you agree, or do you think low pay and poor working conditions are still the main reasons these jobs struggle to attract local workers? 👇🏾
