Keep you in debt and make you work 40 hours per week. That way you're too busy and tired to fight back. Add to that, lots of high calorie foods to keep you fat and even more tired. 32 hours per week while making the same amount of money (or more) than you do now is exactly what they don't want you to have.

Mind if I ask what you do?
I’m a carpenter, a builder and a craftsman. I used to run the rat race but realized everything this post states. I just don’t agree with mandating and forcing a company or business to do anything. It is a vampire system but once you realize it you realize free market capitalism provides the way out. I pursued knowledge and forged my skills into a level where there is very little competition. I don’t advertise. I don’t look for work and I enjoy what I do very much. I have an old barn on my property which I turned into a shop which cuts out practically all overhead and allows me to make a very reasonable profit because of that. I’ve had the pleasure of sharing my knowledge to apprentices who have gone off on their own and been able to make very good livings for themselves. The problems that exist don’t lie in a 32 hour work week or how much you get paid necessarily it has more to do with allowing a worker to keep the money he earns and reduce regulation and taxes so that the cost of living isn’t driven so high.
Sounds like you enjoy what you do and are good at it. Kudos.
Spare a thought for the lesser people who either did not have your advantages or were just not born as smart as you. There is no reason to work people into the ground just so they can keep their heads above water. Robots in factories are cheap enough now that we don't even need people to slave like that. Anything which shortens the "working week" is a positive.

What happens when the news simply becomes an extension/arm of a political party?
Fact becomes fiction?
Fiction becomes fact?
When does news become propaganda? Identity creation?
*How does the average person, who is under constant financial stress (by design), find time to research and discern fact v fiction? *
Turn off the news, turn off the t.v. Unplug yourself from “their” system.
The free market economy is a beautiful thing. I lived on park benches and didn’t have a penny to my name. I was a degenerate and I barely graduated high school. The change in my life came from my encounter with Jesus Christ and he showed me personal integrity and a servants heart. Start by reading scripture and giving thanks to God for the opportunity to be a part of this existence. Humility and Gratitude are your keys to life. Discernment of truth comes through reading Gods word and meditating in prayer and communion with him, and then begin by doing everything you do as if it is for him. Become his friend. I sweep floors with a dedication that it is for God. I hold that alone as the reason I don’t have to advertise for work. Credit and the interest based system is slavery get yourself free from it. Life is a grind don’t believe the illusion that it’s not. Maybe some people don’t have it that way but from what I gather they are mostly self absorbed miserable people. You don’t respect what you haven’t earned. I have worked for the whole gambit of wealthy, successful and famous people. I enjoy being around simple, hard working, God fearing men and women, they have a peace and joy that the rest of the world lacks. Read biographies and historical accounts, it brings perspective. Help others
Thanks.
One of the biggest problems I see with my peers and these younger generations within this society is the perception that hard work is a bad thing. I hope what I post might inspire people and possibly motivate them to turn off the tv and step away from an artificial reality on the computer screen. Caught up with fables and lies created to distract you from the sweat and blood of life. I don’t take my vehicles to a mechanic, I am my own mechanic. I have a garden and work the earth and grow food. I am constantly improving the property I live on and inventing and creating methods for self sufficiency. I am a musician and play music. I have horses and work and train horses. I enjoy failing when learning new skills and figuring out how to do it better. I am constantly reading books and always learning new things. I wake up every morning and read scripture and do so before I go to bed. The only thing I don’t have is enough time in the day. I enjoy life and I enjoy feeling beat down and exhausted from accomplishing tasks, I enjoy stepping back and seeing my creations and accomplishments, it is rewarding, but I look around and most people lack a curiosity and passion for life and it is a sad state of affairs.
