Bernie Sanders: If AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week

Unfortunately it's unlikely to work that way. For example, AI isn't going to give truckers a shorter workweek, it's going to eliminate their jobs altogether.
justinrubek•3h ago
That sounds like the ultimate short week to me.

Good case for UBI. Of course not with the corrupt / crooked administration.
xg15•4h ago
Nah, that's too complicated. Best I can do is navel-gazing about UBI. (But only talking about it, not actually implementing anything)

Sure, a four-day, twelve-hour-per-day work week.

Obligatory In Praise of Idleness quote:

> Suppose that, at a given moment, a certain number of people are engaged in the manufacture of pins. They make as many pins as the world needs, working (say) eight hours a day. Someone makes an invention by which the same number of men can make twice as many pins as before. But the world does not need twice as many pins: pins are already so cheap that hardly any more will be bought at a lower price. In a sensible world, everybody concerned in the manufacture of pins would take to working four hours instead of eight, and everything else would go on as before. But in the actual world this would be thought demoralizing. The men still work eight hours, there are too many pins, some employers go bankrupt, and half the men previously concerned in making pins are thrown out of work. There is, in the end, just as much leisure as on the other plan, but half the men are totally idle while half are still overworked. In this way, it is insured that the unavoidable leisure shall cause misery all round instead of being a universal source of happiness.

Sure, the world doesn't need more pins. But capitalists always want more money, and they need to retain power and influence over their "human capital".
