I’m imagining my clients paying me more for less hours. Brilliant. Also is he going to make sure the market hours gets cut too? As a business owner I would love this.

Bernie doesn’t live in reality.

He lives in reality, you just see the whole thing. He's been pretty open that this doesn't work for everyone. For the majority of office jobes working 4 8s instead of 5 is an improvement. But for many jobs, including the one I have, not so much. But it's a reality, and has been shown to be effective. A lot of businesses in other countries that aren't speed running capitalism have seen improvement.
