1. Actually, suspending services or creating alternating 4-day work weeks is a good idea. |
|
Not to detract from any rhetorical point intended, the Carpenters' Union did this occasionally when I worked with them.
When work was slow, instead of laying off workers, we'd all agree to take off one day out of ten.
Our economy is slow, people are out of work, resources need to be saved, cutting back hours saves energy and it saves jobs.

2. There was no rhetorical point, actually....Just reacting to all of the "updates" |
|
My OP was just kind of a flip reference to all of the news flashes in the media (and on DU) about these "bargains" that are going on.
But maybe i accidentally did stumble across a good idea. let's send it to Washington. :)
