Congressman wants to make 32-hour workweek U.S. law to 'increase the happiness of humankind'

Rep. Mark Takano, who represents California's 39th district, has reintroduced his 32-hour Workweek Act to Congress.

[partisan-by-default]

Rep. Mark Takano, who represents California’s 39th district, has reintroduced his 32-hour Workweek Act to Congress, which, if passed, would officially reduce the standard definition of the workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours by amending the Fair Labor Standards Act.

His proposal would mandate overtime pay for any work done after 32 hours, which would encourage business to either pay workers more for longer hours, or shorten their week and hire more people.

The bill applies to non-exempt workers, who typically work hourly jobs across leisure and hospitality, transportation, construction, manufacturing, wholesale, and retail trade.

This is by design, Takano tells CNBC Make It. “The serious conversations about the reduced workweek are happening for white-collar professions. What my bill will do is spur conversation about how we democratize this norm to other sectors of the workforce so everybody benefits.”

In addition to the OT wages for hourly folks cited above, this would also make 32+ hour workers ELIGIBLE FOR HEALTH INSURANCE, because a lot of companies skirt the law by scheduling folks for juuuuuuust below the minimum number of hours to qualify in order to fuck them over and pad their profit margins.

It's not universal health care, but it's a small step closer, and helps folks who have been getting fucked over.

Rat playing a tiny harmonica!

[garnetrena]

The Kiffness made a song with this video!

Lyrics:

If you're alone and you need a rat

A little rat to forget your problems

I know a rat called Veronica

She will take away your pain

While playing the harmonica

Oh, Veronica

Won't you play me your harmonica?

Your melody makes me happy

Won't you be my rat tonight?

I cannot stand that Universal started slapping "Collector's Edition" on the home video releases of a bunch of their movies. These are the regular-ass editions, tell the truth

“…as the minuteness of the parts formed a great hindrance to my speed, I resolved therefore, to make the creature of a gigantic stature.”

YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974)

[turhansbeycompany]

Long ago, I saw a version of this scene which was a rare example of censorship making something better. Back in the days of much more staid television, I saw Young Frankenstein on broadcast TV. (Remember broadcasting? Remember three major networks and nothing else? No, of course you don’t. This is Tumblr and you’re all too young.) They dubbed over Inga’s (that is, Terri Garr’s) line, replacing “enormous schwanzstucker,” which the network standards and practices people clearly recognized as a dick joke, with “enormous personality.”

And y'know, I think that was a way better line. Instead of being a transparent dick joke, the revised line works on multiple levels. First, it’s a good joke on its own merits because it’s transgressing mental categories. One can have an enormous personality, but it’s funny here because the aspect of personality is being linked to physical size.

And second, it’s an implied dick joke. When talking about oversized body parts, Inga brings up an enormous thing which starts with the letter p and then swerves into something innocuous at last second, and getting right up to that precipice without going over is more clever and more entertaining. Instead of simple embarrassment, Frederick’s reaction can be taken as confusion and perhaps relief at a near-miss awkward social situation. Censorship, yes, but miraculously funnier.
