A recent proposal by a group of “progressive” congressional staffers demanding a 32-hour workweek for Congress drew some interesting responses on Twitter: “LOL read the room guys” and “Why not be bold and ask for a 0-hour work week?” And those were just the responses from Democrats.
The letter was formally withdrawn the day after the staffers released it to bipartisan criticism, but it’s still worth analyzing the proposal’s origins. This incident reveals yet again how leftist elites live in their own bubble and don’t understand the “real world” around them. It reinforces November’s election results and why Democrats face significant problems with working-class voters as the party gets further and further out of touch.
