It is about all I do most weeks now.

Anyone I work with or for says different, I tell them to enjoy running their business their way.

But I was just doing some simple, easy to follow math.

IF the current average is 40 hours, and most folks on average have some average production -- and there are 10% additional Real People you would like to involve . . . just cut the average work week by 10% . . . (from 40 to 36 hours) and hit "=" on the calculator . . . and there you go "=" equals 36 hours.

Whether that is (3) 12s, or (4) 9s, or (5) 7s . . . who cares? We just have to stop all over-producing so much.

Yes, we do.

And we had the same thing during the last Great Depression, as well. Stop kidding yourself; we are not in a "recovery".

The way we got out of the last Great Depression was WW2. We'll get out of this one with WW3. Already in progress in the Middle East, and soon to get much worse.

If it weren't for all the various "bubbles" (defense, tech, housing, energy/commodities, etc.) that have propped up the US economy over the past few decades, we'd be no different from Japan to be quite honest...
