    US government skulking in the corner furiously scribbling notes

    What are you talking about? This is already overwhelmingly the reality in manufacturing (I really should go into detail how turbo fucked working manufacturing in the US is one of these days), service, and there’s probably a couple other industries where this is the case.

    The only times I’ve ever seen someone work 5 days or less out here in the rural area I live in, is either they’re still living with their parents or have roommates, or they’re like one of the most reliable workers at their workplace and thus their boss wants to keep them around and let’s them have that.

      Manufacturing is 9.1% of the US workforce.

      I live and work in a densely populated urban area in the hospitality industry and apparently we’re not nearly as cooked as rural areas yet.
