Democrats will call this a fringe idea even though European countries already do it. The overton window has shifted; we consider far-right policy (like building a wall across the border) but we can’t afford universal healthcare and parental leave.

Hardly on it’s own.
A ton of money goes into telling Americans that they can’t afford vacation or sick leave. Even as a ton more goes into telling us that AI will be replacing our jobs momentarily.

Which is inself so fucking absurd. Can you imagine spending money to convince other people to work harder? Like, as a concept to itself it’s so absurd.

Yeah the billionaires are working overtime. Probably easy to do when you have more money than some countries.

They work “overtime” because they log every meal as working and having an idea at 2am, while trying to ignore the ghosts of hell screaming at them, demanding they repent, as overtime.
