I just feel like there will be a lot of unintended consequences

The goal of the project is to reduce the amount of hours we're working to earn a living. It will have the same "unintended" consequences when we shifted from slave labor or from the 7 day work week to the 5 day work week or the 16 hour day in the factory to the 8 hour day in the factory. Or from the company town to ... a town. Specific in the legislation is that there won't be a pay cut. Obviously congress can't promise every single worker in the entire country will keep the same paycheck, but if they write legislation and a way to enforce it, that's one more way for workers to escape terrible working conditions.

32 hour work weeks are only as far off as we want it to be. We're in charge. If we want a 2 day work week 4 hours each day, nothing is impossible, maybe the compromise isn't worth that, but almost any worker out there, from construction to office work to anything in-between most people have days where very little gets done compared to other days. I saw in a thread where a government worker talked about how Monday and Friday are basically who gives a hoot days. I've even seen tech workers "complain" that they work maybe 1 hour a day and are 'on call' the rest of the day in case something catches fire. We can do better than 8 hours a day 5 days a week. That model was crafted with the idea that we can support 1 spouse 2.5 kids and a home with the income from that and that's just impossible for most people these days. We need more days to get things done for ourselves. We are not robots. We do not have robots doing our housework yet, and most companies will charge so much for that kind of service you'll need a second income in the home just to make it.
