Sure they do. It’s not a bad system, all told. That said, with budget woes mounting and snail-mail on the decline, isn’t it time to scale back to four days a week? There’s been talk of cutting Saturday, but why not Friday also? Pay-checks can go out Thursday, and in any case we really should be moving toward direct deposit.

I’ve long advocated for cutting the workweek to four days in general. Whether that means 10 hours per day or 32 hours per week we could hash out as we go, but the 5-day workweek is insane.
Insane is a bit of a strong word, but I would strongly support a move to a four-day, 10-or-9-hour week.
Stop, that tickles. We should at least finish insisting on government funded health care before talking about fudging on the bill and taking permanent mental-health-Fridays.
