Increase the Weekend
It's a fact that the United States, as far as industrialized nations go, has the longest work week.
I propose creating an extra day in the weekend to account for this. This will overcome the extended hours in the work week, putting us on par with other western nations.
It does two things:
- shorten the work week by a day and;
- extends the weekend by a day.
Doing this will actually put us ahead of Europe. They'll be playing catch up and working longer than the U.S.
An eight day week is a start, but it still is "not enough to show I care." Yes, it will finally validate the phrase coined by Ringo Starr to denote how much love a person can give in an eight day period.
Having an extra day in the week will help recover lost time from:
- Time spent in a DMV
- Traffic
- Commercials
- Mindless social jabber
- Entertainment News (e.g. Tom and Katie)
- Travel time to and from vacation (It's built in)
- Login to post comments
