It was probably necessary years ago by now, but the 40 hour work week has been kept going for the sake of keeping stocks up.
Now that the economy is doing bad enough, the 150,000+ Layoffs in one month are proving that lots of jobs are essentially just employee-babysitting and aren't actually necessary.

It'll just be inevitable before too long. Real unemployment is nearly 40% with no relief in sight, people are becoming discontent, and it's not realistic to have 120,000,000+ people with no income.

Hint: Foodstamps, Section 8, & Welfare already are close to just being a UBI.
