Defying the global trend toward shorter work weeks, Greece has implemented a mandatory six-day working week for certain private businesses to boost productivity. The law, which took effect on July 1st, allows employees to work an extra eight-hour shift or two additional hours per day. This move aims to address the country's shrinking population and shortage of skilled labor.

Dvorak describes this as a "socialist trope" dating back to the FDR administration. The hosts view the proposal as virtue signaling that is unlikely to pass or be effectively implemented.
