A work hour reduction rollout that eventually ends up under 20, or even 10 hours per week as a full time job. I think the majority of companies could get by with 20 hour weeks being law right now. Investors would hate it, but people would love it and also end up spending more on various things because they now have the time to do whatever it is.

Plus, couples need two to things to start a family and raise children. Time and money. Reducing labor availability will increase wages and give households more time to raise kids.

If 20 or 10 hours was a full time job, I could work two or three! Lots of income!

I would just work that single job as long as it paid all my bills and entertainment expenses and have a lot more time for my hobbies.
