Ton of studies showing this is quite literally counterproductive and will not cause any growth because productivity will plummet but whatever keep stripping the copper out of the walls I guess
I mean it kind of works if you have a developmentalist one party state, so definitely not Greece
You know your population is cooked when you'd rather have a six day work week over healthy immigration and education policies.

The day the government demands I no longer have a weekend is the day adventurism looks completely fine.
Does the EU impose any limitations on immigration policy? I know countries have their own timelines to citizenship but can the EU just flat-out prevent them from opening up their borders?

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.
It’s means state mandated no work on one of the weekends right ? 
Can't wait for this to be rolled out in the entire West™!
my dyslexic ass read this as six hours and was wondering why everybody was mad lmao
