Well, one could have a series of '2-day' work weeks. A governmental re-designated six day work week would permit three such work weeks in one. Unless of course, you were capable of working double shifts, which might give you as many as six part-time jobs per week.

#4 The "Missouri Millennials" probably think this is the right thing.

They probably don't work more than 2 days a week now and figure that's the way of the world. They calculate their minimum wage by what they want not what they do.

#5 Missouri Millennials? I'm not familiar with that term.

#6 Sorry TW thought it was self explanatory.

Students that protested at Missou (see also Yale, Oberlin, Harvard, etc.)

Think Melissa Click, safe spaces, BLM, Occupy Wall Street or Bernie Bros. "Pay me $100,000 per year for 2 days a week work."

#7 In the future, comrades, thanks to the glories of Socialism, the work week will only be two days long.

Vote for me and I'll set you free.

#8 Thank you, AlanC. It should have been obvious, but Mr. Wife had two back to back business trips in opposite directions, and we ran back to Buffalo for his father's 80th birthday in between, so I'm a little slow at the moment.
