My mistake, I saw someone say the British weren't working today because of it.

Of the major industrial nations in the world, I know that we have the fewest national holiday's. Funny, some of the days that people spend the most on, Halloween, Mothers and Fathers Day, Valentine's Day etc. get no time off work. I'm reminded of Scrooge feeling cheated for giving Xmas off.

I believe that much of the world is going to 4 day work week of either 32 or 36 hours, the US will probably be the last to do that as well. Toward the end of my career we went to a 4 day week with 10 hour days, the weekends were nice, but in Winter getting to work before sun came out and leaving after it set was really a drag during the week, especially if I didn't get out during the day.

I wish we could deal with the alien issue and realize we need substantial numbers of them. Many countries intentionally import a lot of workers, both skilled and unskilled, to deal with issues where sufficient citizens aren't available. We bury our heads and make believe we don't need them, but would complain like crazy if we couldn't buy fresh fruit and vegetables, meats, etc. because there weren't people to harvest them. Musk may create robots to replace many of them, but I'd rather have people, and 32 hour work weeks, and I believe we can still be the worlds leading economy, people employed in the leisure industry will need to grow as people will have so much more time off. What we have at the border is wrong, but if we allow more in to fill the jobs they won't need to come in illegally.

People elected to public office should put the good of the community they're serving above their party, it's not just Congress, it's govt. everywhere. Also, soliciting funds and electioneering should be illegal until a couple months before the election, and ideally funding should be public funds, but very limited, mostly supporting debates and town meetings not 24/7 commercials with essentially no error checking on validity of what's said. It may never happen, but one can dream.
