   Pushing the 4 day work week standard...

   Sure, there's an easy way to get the 4 day work week standard accepted by industry:
   
   Would you be willing to work for half your pay if you only had to work a 4 day work week?
   
   Any other method of getting a 4 day work week is doomed to failure.

   The Germhouse Effect

   Since most weather stations are located near concrete or asphalt, they tend to measure local climate effects. It's no surprise if weather stations in the more densely populated coasts show a rise.

   But never mind the greenhouse effect -- there are naturally occurring germhouse effects that can raise the temperature up to 830 C.

   I'm wondering if there will emerge bacteria (naturally or artificially) that like to grow under asphalt and emit huge amounts of heat, so they turn our highways into tarways. We could have cars that spontaneously combust.

   hmmm. 50% cut in pay for a 20% reduction in labor... sounds like a bargain to me.
