It's Lebanon county. The only thing for people to do here in their free time is go to church and work on their sanctimony.

Reply to comment by Starpork in Pa. woman whose wheelchair was shoved down stairs by Mercyhurst student athletes lost legs in car wreck by Aggravating_Foot_528
I thought the same thing, but then realized she needed the wheelchair because she lost her legs. I hope that jerk that pushed the chair down the stairs got punished.

In the next few months and years a lot of people might not even have a job to be able work any hours a week.
I get that a 4 day 32 hour work week sounds reasonable, but this model is going to rapidly become outdated as automation renders entire portions if not the entire job a person has obsolete.
We should be focusing on something that is real and in our near future. Finding a way to distribute the unprecedented wealth and efficiency that will come from AI into the pockets of the increasingly unemployed masses instead of a few corporations.

I may even relocate for that salary.

Yeah I’d much rather they focus on raising minimum wage

Except those in essential jobs. Food service. Health care. Etc. People want to work 4 day weeks themselves… but expect the world to continue turning when they aren’t. The fast food guy, the nurse, the doctor, the teacher - they all and many more essential and skilled workers deserve the benefits too.

They need to make everyone salary and then raise overtime rules so people making under 50k get overtime still. But of course, that would never happen and this bill is a pipe dream anyway.

You aren't kidding. Between commuting and then just wanting some down time before eating dinner, you have really no time to unwind from work. Two days off isn't enough.

Honestly if salary was the norm and we raised overtime rules for people making no more than 50k, I feel that this would be much better received.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Pa. delegation pushes to end opioid treatment co-pays, saying many people thwarted by cost by oldschoolskater
As someone who works in D&A I will say I am in favor of AA/NA but not for the program and the big book…more so just for the support amongst others in your community who are also working to maintain their sobriety….addiction is a mother fucker, and is a very difficult struggle as many who are entering into treatment have left many friends behind in order to get sober….having those friends and supports who are sober and who can be there for you are very important. One of the larger reasons for relapse I’ve come across is boredom/loneliness. You become sober and you can’t hang out with the people you used to due to triggers with wanting to use, but eventually for some that loneliness does become to much.

Mentally challenging jobs like mine (software architect but I also do a lot of hands on coding) can be just as draining as the physically challenging ones. Decision fatigue can happen very quickly, leaving little energy left for chores or recreation. A 4 day work week would be a huge benefit for achieving personal goals that don't involve work.

No, but everyone knows student achievement and proper admin behavior were not things Don focused on. He likely would have taken Mr. Pinky and chewed on it just for the fun of it.

No. But there are other solutions. Hire more people, for example... If there is enough work that one person has to spend that much time there, then you have enough work for two people.

You just have to wonder what happened to these people to make them like this.
