    Two weeks is still an embarrassment. Some might say baby steps blah blah blah but 2 weeks is abysmal for an apparently modern, advanced nation.

    Everyone will now work five hours less than what qualifies as full time. Which I guess is one way to reduce the work week.

    Literally anything that transfers power from rulers to workers should have our support.

      Sanders doesn’t actually think just 2 weeks is what we should have.

      Its a bare-minimum, intentionally not enough proposal that, when rejected by the GOP and Corporate Dems, gives the DSA’s another platform to fight on.

      To let Americans know “they’re so evil they won’t even let you have just 2 weeks!”
