Bernie Sanders unveils 32-hour workweek bill with no loss in pay for workers

Reply in thread

When COVID shut down my state (we were considered essential) we got furloughed one day a week. I was getting paid less so I was concerned, but it was honestly the best thing to happen to me. We started a garden, I got so much more done. I was healthier and happier.

Going back to 5 days a week, and longer commute (no more COVID clear freeways), I can absolutely feel my life shortening. I've gained a ton of weight, and increased stress significantly.

Conservative parent is sad his daughters aren't coming for thanksgiving after voting for Trump

I gotta say, I'm becoming more lefty as I age. I grew up with an emphasis on personal responsibility, self reliance etc. Those principles still ring true with me. But I have seen them twisted by conservatives to be used against individuals in the interests of the 1%, the corporations. Trump doesn't even pretend to play by the same rules. He has literally said "I take no responsibility at all" while as the president for things he was in control of. That's not a leader, it's a ruler.

When you do it yourself and it looks like you did it yourself lol

That's what happens when you do it yourself. You notice the flaws more.

I spent months redoing my bathroom. I moved a wall, re-routed plumbing installed a new tub, and tiled. So much tiling. I ripped some out I was so pissed at how it went in. I still see every spot that I didn't like.

After that experience I went into the bathroom at my work and looked at the tiling in there. The tiles directly in front of the unrinal I've been peeing in for 6+years. They were way worse than some of the stuff I was fussing over, and I never noticed.

Give yourself credit for finishing the fucking job. Learn to not make the same mistakes, and go out and make new mistakes to learn from.
