USA Never Stops Working Act of 2011; in brief...
Institute a 24 hour/7 day a week stock market. Make everyday a business day and mandate a 30 hour work week as full-time.A stock market that never closes has infinite potential in production margins. It will force publicly traded companies to hire more too. 3 fold more?
Mandating a 7 day business week rather than a 5 day business week will increase overall production potential by a marginal 40% as well as force typical 5 day businesses to hire more personnel.
Mandating a 30 hour work week will also enable more workers to be eligible for benefits or at least bolster their leverage in the collective bargaining of such.
Super rich corporations are refusing to invest in the USA, this will force them to do it.

Dunno if this will pass muster with Judeo-Christian tradition of resting on the 7th day. But since the economy never really shuts down, why not just acknowledge the obvious and reap the benefits of common sense.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your insight. The Sunday thing is a hang-up, though you did hone in on the right dynamics of the idea. One just has to really contemplate why the US stock exchange closes at all. Everyone has to sleep, even billionaires. We just cant afford as a nation to accommodate them in this way anymore.
