Since the economy is booming and productivity is at the highest levels seen in decades, the Spanish government wants to reduce the work week from 40 to 37.5 hours without a reduction in pay.
Brilliant move! I can’t believe they’re the only ones doing it.
There is only one thing left to do for my fellow Spaniards: mantenerse humildes y acumular sats.
Highest levels of productivity in decades?
By the way, Alejandro, have you seen this?

Food is a tough topic. The industry has lowered prices dramatically by reducing the quality to the point that many ingredients are unhealthy.
We need to reclaim healthy ways to produce food although I don’t think that blanket regulation like this one is the solution.
Agree, coming from a relatively rutal place where I got to enjoy real food for several decades, I think there’s a lot of room for improvement nowadays.
But this law is not coming from a place of trying to improve food quality. Quality will probably improve as a side effect but a prohibitive price for many, many people. It doesn’t need to be that way, but that’s how it looks it’ll be.
While it may seem well intentioned, you have to think of the second and third order effects that inevitably occur when the state intervenes in what should be a free market.
Maybe 1 in 16 people will be fired to make up the difference or they won’t hire another person that they would have otherwise.
I agree with you. My post was ironic. I’m sorry the part that clearly gives away the ironic sense of the post is in Spanish.
It ended as: stay humble and stack sats.
