Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where ‘machines can make all the food and stuff’ isn’t a bad idea::“A society where you only have to work three days a week, that’s probably OK,” Bill Gates said.

    What? How broken are we all that you first thought is “Nice then I can work two jobs” The only way this really works if they pay living wages for 3 day work weeks. And I know they aren’t even paying those now for 5-6 days but this is a point we have to insist on and make them do it. Workers have managed to enforce a 8 hour work day a long time ago. We need to remember our strength and fight for better conditions.

      We are very broken. Rather than improving, the working conditions of most people are declining, and pay isn’t keeping up with living costs.

      I believe at some point people won’t take it, but right now I wouldn’t be surprised if people took two job rather than enjoy their free time. Many already do, because they need to.
