UK Politics
General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

Sure, you can live in the fantasy world, when you stop being a dick.
I obviously know that my suggestion would completely change the civilization as we know it.
No large hollidays, no actual weekend, lost social life with those who work the oposite schedule, vacation/event planning would be an absolute mess.
Coordinating with other companies/countries that don't use this system would be an absolute nightmare.
Converting the entire world is practically impossible.
But the concept is interesting, imagine a world with no company downtime, you need to go to the bank? Ok just go when you are have a free day, there are no special open hours just because it is your weekend, all shops are open as normal, no need to wait untill 10 to get what you need, or reversely, you can get stuff you need in the evenings, stores doesn't close early just because you are off work.
That would also mean that people have more time to practice their hobbies, giving them an incentive to buy more equipment for said hobby, meaning more income for companies, add to that that you have more people doing the job, so that makes even more consumers the companies can profit off of.
It is an interesting, if practically impossible concept.
I disagree, COVID got a lot of the world to stay indoors. So it's totally possible, it's just that the higher ups don't want to do it so they won't.
We as a species could achieve all sorts of it wasn't for the rich cunts at the top stopping it.
Covid changed where we worked, not when, which is a far larger change, especially to get sll companies and governments to agree to the change.
While the rich guys at the top does have plenty of power, this concept that I presented would change the entire culture of the world, and will probably show to be wildly impopular among the working class as well as the rich guys at the top.
You're a bit up yourself aren't you? I don't work behind a desk like you and it didn't change where I work at all. Get over yourself.
Wow, projecting hard are we?
