Comment on Bernie Sanders Champions 32-Hour Work Week With No Loss in Pay

With 5 days, 7 hours the idea is that you don’t work effectively anyway in the last 1-2 hours, not doing many useful things, adding to depression and also obviously still using that time, so it’s better to get some rest or social activity or take a walk instead.

True… realistically knowledge workers are only productive for a few hours at a time. The rest of an 8 hr+ day is just wasted pretending to be busy.
Getting them out of the work environment gives a good chance to reboot and come back fresh.
