Fighting the last war -- indeed, the one before the one before, etc. The problem goes back to the steam engine and the universal denial of its implications. The purpose of shortening the workweek by 25% is to "create" 20% more "jobs", which still presumes that "everyone" must "work"; but that presumption is false, and, like every falsehood, a sadistic trap.
