Unemployment...the official rate is almost certainly a politically-contrived lie. Is it 20%? 30%? We treat this statistic as a negative, proportional to how high it goes, but i don't see it that way. The more unemployment, the more people not stuck in soul-sucking, criminally non-paying "vocations" that are an assault on humyn health and dignity.
But i'm not immune to the argument that work gives life meaning. So here's how to solve unemployment overnight, and make the lives of the already-employed immeasurably better as well. Cut the weekly hours of everyone working instantly in half, without changing any aspect of their pay or benefits. The unemployed can instantly fill the missing productivity hours, at the same pay rate the original worker was making.
You'll make every worker in America more efficient, energized, and productive, and create a glut of new, desirable jobs the likes of which have never been seen.
And the "american dream" will move closer to not being the howling lie it's always been.
