now that the most popular socialist candidate has apologized for statements of fact about the nypd (they're racist), it's a great time to read my piece about why this is NOT the right thing to do.

This Labor Day, we deserve the right to work less. The purpose of our lives is not to toil for GDP or so that the rich can get even richer. We deserve less work so that we can have more time to spend as we wish.
