BarbaraM99, you need to be relocated to a city without mass transit options before you shoot of your mouth about others. You''re assuming a lot here. We''d love to have mass transit.

Since a four day work week may benifit the average American worker, it will be shot down on principle alone by our current leaders who try to treat the average American worker like a draft horse, get as much work out while feeding them as little as possible.

Did you not read where they don''t have much of a mass transit system? "Birmingham commuters have few options. Its mass-transit system, mostly buses, is not in good shape - like most other U.S. cities. And there''s no light rail."
I live in a community with no mass-transit at all and everything is spread out with narrow roads and steep hills. Not very bike friendly. People like has don''t have an option but to rely on our cars or we don''t eat!
