Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday introduced legislation that would establish a 32-hour workweek in the U.S. with no loss of pay, a change the Vermont senator said is necessary to ensure the working class benefits from massive productivity gains and technological advances.
A 32-hour workweek “is not a radical idea,” Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said in a statement, noting that productivity gains have far outpaced wage growth in recent decades.
“Today, American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change,” said Sanders. “The financial gains from the major advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology must benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street.”
“It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life,” Sanders added. “It is time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.”

FUCK JON STEWART (never thought I'd say that.)
Well, I'm a hypocrite if I don't say it. @jonstewart sold the fuck out. I saw him slowly selling out thru the years, but making some decent points else wise. But now...he's making excuses on why it sucks so much here with rhetoric you would hear on billionaire owned #CNN. fore shame #jonstewart. You were once actually progressive. Now you're the #berniesanders of tv; you look like your leftish, but you're centralist, at best. Boo you whore. Retire while you still have a little of your reputation left. I want to have a few good memories of you.
