AOC says "We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks"

[healthmyths]

“When we have this discussion about going back or reopening, I think a lot people should just say ‘no, we’re not going back to that.’ We’re not going back to working 70 hour weeks just so that we can put food on the table and not even feel any sort of semblance of security in our lives,” Ocasio-Cortez finished.
Who in the hell works 70 hours a week?!!!

FACTS.. AOC... FACTS....Do you see the average hours being 70 hours a week!!!

Furthermore, are people actually working “60, 70, 80” hours per week?
The BLS defines full-time workers as those working at least 35 hours per week.
Those working 60 or more hours are workers with two full time jobs, a full time and part time job,
or two part-time jobs that are nearly full-time.
Data show that, among workers with multiple jobs, the vast majority are managing either one full-time job and a secondary part-time job or two part-time jobs. Only a tiny fraction (4 percent) work two full-time jobs.
If we extrapolate their average daily work hours to a full week, multiple jobholders work an average of 42.95 hours per five-day workweek,
relative to 39.7 hours for single jobholders, though they are also more likely to work on the weekends.

Are Most People Actually Working Two Or Three Jobs? Not Really.

A tendency among policymakers to overstate the extent of the problem can be counterproductive and misleading, diverting discussion away from more salient issues.

Not only that, but the more hours that people work, the more they exaggerate. Americans who say they work 75 hours a week tend to be exaggerating by 25 hours. (The average American work week in September was 34.5 hours, according to the BLS.)

Well, Truck drivers work a 70-hour week. But other than that, anyone working more than 45 hours a week is doing so on a voluntary basis.

If yo have to work 70 hours a week just to feed yourself, you're doing it wrong.

Useless ****

UM. 7/365 10-12 for 45 years must be offensive then ?

Hey...I walked 5 miles to school....uphill.......and even in the winter.
Then I had to walk 5 miles uphill to get home from school.
So yes, I know that a 70 hour workweek is legit.

Hmm ...

I always considered food on the table a good idea.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The majority of AOC's voters work zero hours a week.

More to the point, what frigging business is it of hers what people choose to do?

She can get back to Mexico.

Excuse me?

 

[HenryBHough]

In AOC's worker's paradise the only people working will the slaves shackled to the gubbmint printing presses churning out "money" to be distributed to everyone. Of course nobody will have food or heat for their homes. But EVERYBODY will have toilet paper!

 

[Norman]

She can get back to Mexico.

Excuse me?

Which part do you have trouble with? Clearly she is anti-American, we don't want her here.

The country better reflects her values, especially the socialist party. Get back to her home.

She can pick any 3rd world nation for all I care, fits right in. Preferably one that is extra brown, her brown new deal could do well.

Well, Truck drivers work a 70-hour week. But other than that, anyone working more than 45 hours a week is doing so on a voluntary basis.

If yo have to work 70 hours a week just to feed yourself, you're doing it wrong.

OTR truck drivers usually don't mind working long hours. They want to make as much money as they can while they are away from home.

Obama really fucked over the truckers with the 11 hour rule. Every trucker I know was pissed off about that. Truckers were a high value target in the Obama administration's war on the middle class because they are mostly white.

Yes, I know. I have a Commercial CDL class A. I'm not driving right now though. But that goes directly to my point.

Those who are working long hours, want to work long hours.

Cortez is a fuckin' idiot. She's the same pinhead who professed that the unemployment rate was so low because everyone was working 2 jobs.

I think her mother must have imbibed a lot of alcohol while she was pregnant. She has abnormally wide-set eyes and her teeth look huge but they're not, really. They merely appear large because they are disproportionate to her small cranium.

Cognitive disability, check
Wide-set eyes, check
Microcephaly, check

It all points to Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.

The part I'm having trouble with is where your bigoted ass got the idea she was Mexican. What, because all brown people look alike to three-toothed Gomers like you?

I know more than a few people who work upwards of 70 or 80 hours a week. The bitch of it is that it's not like they're rolling in dough.

I used to work 12-14 hour days five, six or, on rare occasions, seven days a week. That hard work back in the day put me in a position to not have to work my ass off today. Now, I'll hit the office for four or so hours a day and then it's "me time"...
