70. Pretty much. A four day work week would guarantee full employment.
Rather than a permanent unemployment rate between 5 and 10%, a permanent class of underemployed comprising about 30% of the population, and an economic PATRICIAN class comprising 10% of the population while bringing in 50% of the income and controlling most of the wealth.

Conservatives are playing a distraction game by saying "don't invoke class warfare." The class war is already OVER. We lost. We're not discussing how to stop post-class-warfare class genocide.

So...do all you surfs realize that the U.S. already has the lowest paid vacation rate in the world. Americans get an average of 13 paid days off per year. Even the Japanese, who have the SECOND least number of vacation days get 25.
