Nice billionaire talking points you have there. You are literally admitting you live in an oppressive economic regime, yet you attempt to defend it.

I suppose we are both guilty of ad hominem.

I would like you to show me, in our exchange or anywhere under my original comment, where I supported billionaires. My position is straightforward. I am explaining why a four-day workweek, in my business, would not generate sufficient revenue. Other companies would undercut me by working more than four days a week and charging less per closed work order. That is not ideology; it is how competition functions in a capitalist system.

This leads to the central question: what reforms, legislation, or structural changes could realistically curtail this basic economic condition? Corporations should absolutely be more heavily regulated to prevent abuse. However, their autonomy cannot be eliminated entirely. They must retain some capacity to operate independently and generate profit, or the system collapses. What you are ultimately describing resembles a non-monetary or post-scarcity economy, which cannot exist until scarcity itself is eliminated.

The four-day workweek is an excellent idea, and I fully support it where it is viable. What you are proposing, however, is not a minor reform. It is a fundamental change to the philosophical and economic foundations of our society. Such a transformation cannot be achieved through legislation alone.
