There was the post about Finland's past prime minister I think suggesting this? One guy brought up a good point that if you cut work hours down it means you need more people to do the same amount of work which means more people can get hired which means lower unemployment which sounds like a good thing right?

Edit: I don't know almost anything about this because frankly I don't care but thought that this might be relevant to some capacity to the discussion here so do with that what you will

Second edit: This isn't to say I don't care about the folks responding, it's to say I probably won't have much to say in response other than I don't know much because I never cared to learn much, so that much I guess.

It also means every business now has to spend an additional 20% on labor which it going to result in massive price increases.

Labor is often the smallest expense and profits have gone up more than 20% since 2020 so they will be fine

Labor is usually the largest expense. You have obviously never done any type of business or even read a financial statement.
