 we could literally curb unemployment by capping the hours and raising the pay. no need for bs nativist policies. less hours worked means employers need more workers to fill in empty shifts

Who's gonna pay for the raised operating costs? This kind of feel-good solution is just going to kill small businesses and further empower megacorporations.

It’s not like we can’t do it. It’s been feasible since the 60s

Yeah, and guess what, you'd be creating more of these monopolies by consolidating markets for megacorporations, the only businesses that can afford to keep spending more and more on their employees

frankly if a business cannot afford its labor, then it should not be a business tbh 🤷‍♂️
