30 hrs a week was a way to deal with mass unemployment, which the US is not currently facing.

Only if you get less done. I feel that for a lot of jobs we could work 30 hours and get no less done.

I'd argue that:

o it is

o it's going to get a lot worse faster than many expect (and most are prepared for)

o we need to consider / encourage social rearchitecting globally, not just within each country's borders
