Serious question. As 50% (guess) of work is essentially being paid for your time, you can't be more productive as a care assistant or a fireman, are the rest of us willing to pay 25% more for these things so they can have a 4 day week?

Reply to comment by Philboyd_Studge in TIL The "Semolina Pilchard" mentioned in "I Am the Walrus" is a reference to Scotland Yard drug squad detective Norman "Nobby" Pilcher, who led a midnight drug raid on John Lennon's London flat in October 1968. He'd targeted musicians Mick Jagger, Brian Jones, Eric Clapton and Donovan prior to that. by 54_actual

A popular belief, but untrue:
​
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gini_coefficient
Year World Gini coefficients
1988 0.80
1993 0.76
1998 0.74
2003 0.72
2008 0.70
2013 0.65
Lower is less unequal. Each period has gone down.
> ..... a continuous decline since 1988. This is attributed to globalization increasing incomes for billions of poor people, mostly in countries like China and India. Developing countries like Brazil have also improved basic services like health care, education, and sanitation; others like Chile and Mexico have enacted more progressive tax policies
