1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Nonono don't do it!!
Just look how it went in Germany, they went from 40 to 35 and then last year they overtook Japan as the 3rd largest economy in the world.
But if they had kept 40 hour work week, they might have done that a year earlier.
I tell you 32 hour work week will be an absolute disaster, marriages will break because people will have time to spend together. This is why the christian right will oppose this tooth and nail, and you should too.

Them being cancelled because they said something dumb doesn't mean they weren't cancelled. But I'm convinced economists can't be cancelled, Jonathan Gruber and Paul Krugman proved that.
The drones might have time to think and get ideas above their station. Next thing you know, they'll start objecting to being maximally exploited at every turn! Letting them off the leash, even a little, will have disastrous effects for their owners, I tell you!
Dogs and cats, living together! Mass heysteria!
Hyuck, hyuck, I get this refernce, ya fucking nerd!
I agree with the sentiment. But the case with Germany and Japan wasn't so much Germany overtaking but rather Japan sloping down (Japan's strict working hours/culture probably played a part in this though).
What I'm saying is that there are other factors than work hours that determine productivity. Job satisfaction is a major factor too.
I am in Germany, how do I get a 35 hour work week without working part time? Every contact I've ever had has said 40 hours, not including breaks, with an expectation of overtime going up to 50 hours (legal maximum) unpaid.
OK now I'm confused, because I was pretty sure Germany introduced 35 hour work week already in the 90's, just like Denmark reduced to 37.5 hours.
Here the 37.5 is actually the norm for full time work. I thought it was 35 in Germany, but I can't even find anything on the introduction of 35 hours in the 90's ???
But apparently the AVERAGE which is a completely different measure, is 34.2 in 2020.

I apologize if I misrepresented the situation in Germany.
