Bernie Sanders election scam: Work less, pay more, feel just as bad

Senator Bernie Sanders is back, copying the 2023 Progressive attempt to wreck the US economy by mandating a 32-hour work week. Yes, less work for the same pay sounds great. Then the details kick in and that is very different than the feel good headline.
