Rick Scott wants everyone to work a 7 day work week to "get things done". Just like he does. Thanks Florida!

The man who walked away with $10 million in cash and $300 million in stock after the company that he co-founded and led as CEO, Columbia/HCA, paid a $1.7 billion settlement to resolve federal health care fraud charges.

Genesis 2:2-3
King James Version

2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.

3 And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.

He could find something to fill the time, like meeting with his constituents or responding personally to their emails and letters. I'm sure that he spends his time when the Senate is not in session back in Florida, seeing how he can make the lives of its citizens better

"We"? Who, exactly, are "we"? Certainly not Senators, who rarely seem to work at all. And how do we work a minimum of seven days a week when there are only seven days in a week? Do we work all seven nights, too? What a fucking tool. Fuck yourself often and hard, Rick.

There aren't any more days to add to a week! I also imagine this would be for no additional pay.

If there are issues/production problems I will get a call, regardless. When I'm on vacation I have a back up, but if it's bad enough I'll get a call. I'm fine with that.

But I'm not ok working normal business hours 7 days a week. I think we should have a 4 day work week. 32 hours. People will be more productive because they won't be as tired and they'll have better work/life balance.
