    And the one Heart for the projects making sense for All of Mankind is the socialist sustenance of blood moving in and out of the Heart. And the shortness of Breath is a kind of catching up for the projects with health care being int eh essential Action keeping the organism of humanity together for a priori survival; we can stop fooling ourselves with Empiricism of scarce wealth of the Earth. That is a posteriori.

    You should read this:

    Maybe MW and wages overall should be higher than what they are. Hours should be shorter, too.

    if all of the work that really needed to be done, were distrubuted to everyone who wanted to do it, 4 hours a day, four days out of six, would keep everyone fed, sheltered, all the transportation running, all the power grid supplied and maintained, and pretty much everything else. it isn't done that way because of ideas people have in their heads. money. criticism of non-slavery. a whole way of looking at everything that has nothing to do with anything in nature nor how anything physical works. these are the only reason we haven't had four day work weeks for as long as we've had organized society.

    How about a 4 hour business day to go along with the 4 hour work day?

    That law should simply be "If your profits are not capable of paying the costs of running your business you should go out of business".


    I agree with the aspect that citizens and businesses of a country should be respectful of one another, but 'taking care' of each other is in some cases a responsibility, and in most other cases a right of choice of the people who make up the many societies within the country.

    On the 4 hour work day, if you can earn enough to provide your needs and wants working 4 hours a day, then why not?

    8 hours of working to make someone richer than you even richer is torture. 4 is a bit more humane.
