Former presidential nominee and current Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced a bill that would cut the American working week down to three or four hours on Wednesday afternoons, sources have confirmed.
“The American people have been ground to a halt by unfair labor expectations for too long,” said Sanders, speaking before Congress earlier today. “That is why I’m proposing a significantly shorter workweek, to ensure better lives and mental health of the average American. Come in after lunch on Wednesday and do what you can. No big whoop.”
Critics of the proposal slammed the unrealistic hopes that businesses could thrive with such depleted workforces.
“How am I supposed to stay in business when I’m only open from 1:00 to 4:00 on a Wednesday?” asked local restaurant owner Gary Hawes. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for taking care of workers, but we have to be realistic here. I think Bernie’s idea is ridiculous, as is his proposal to increase the minimum wage to 250 dollars an hour to offset it.”
As of press time, the bill is scheduled to be voted on after Congress returns from a three week vacation.
Umm I realize that this is satire but in reality wouldn’t requiring bernz to actually do real work every Wednesday afternoon be a step up in terms of what he is currently doing?
The bern has never done anything ever, so yes , you are correct!! This must be satire! That worthless commie turd rat bastard
you are correct .bernie just needs to go away with biden .
I think they’d make a lovely couple…
Just think of all the morons that keep voting him in year after year. Shades of Nancy Pelosi! How can people be that stupid?
Are you aware that before he got into politics, that he was on the government dole for most of his previous life?
Sanders wants everyone to have the same work “week” that he has! How… nice. The guy probably hasn’t had a 40 hour week for several decades.
Where do these democrat assholes come from and this is their way to make America Great. We are in big trouble
If democrats win this election. Just a bunch of corrupt assholes.
