    Bernie: Here’s a bill that will help literally everyone. People waste less of their lives at work, and productivity goes up massively for the corporate overlords. There is no downside here for anyone.

    Everyone: Shut up, hippy.

      Don’t listen to them, when they tell you that. As far as you know, might even be an astroturfer, trying to kill this in the crib.

      Call your House of Representative member and let them know that you want this bill to become law.

      If we citizens don’t apply the pressure, nothing will happen.

      And if your cynical about doing that, try it anyway, just as an experiment, to see what happens. Hell, even make a YouTube video about your experience doing so, for content.

      Just say "Please let my representative know that I am in favor of the Bernie Sanders bill (Thirty-Two Hour Workweek Act) for a 32 hour work week."

      It’s just a phone call. A 32 hour work week is worth a single phone call, right?
