Comment on Bernie Sanders unveils 32-hour workweek bill

I have no issue with better worker rights. I’d rather focus on things like living wages and laws around vacation. Bernie just isn’t smart and focuses on the wrong thing. All this would do is push people back to the office and companies would hand out more work.

Or capping salaries of public companies to 25 the lowest employee

THIS is the real answer. I pretty sure Japan does something like this. If the lowest full time guy is getting $25K per year why should the head guy be getting $25 fucking million or more. I understand that if you have more expertise and experience that you get paid more than those that don’t but the gap is HUGE.

  Private companies let the gap be there. Do what you want but public companies, let’s put some rules around them. Since our retirement is tied to these companies. We are tried to their success and they benefit from the taxes we pay.
