92% of firms keep a four day work week after a six month trial.

It doesn’t work in some industries, it does apparently work in a heck of a lot of them though.

As a counterpoint a trial in Virginia of a 7-day workweek was an astonishing success.
Italy had a very successful run as well, leading to parts of Europe adopting the practice

In Germany, in a new series of police raids against the Reichsburger movement (an extreme right movement which seeks to restore the German Empire) , a policeman was lightly wounded when one of the Reichsburger opened fire on the police when they came with a search warrant.
The man was arrested and will be charged with attempted manslaughter.

...The German Empire?

Like I can get 3rd reich revisionists and HRE larpers but the German Empire is not one I expected. I can get if they just want the German Empire border revisionism or do they want a kaiser and everything?

[martinuzz]

I believe they actually even do want a kaiser.

Actually they are pretty much German Sovereign Citizens. Like the American version they come in all sorts and varieties.

[dragdeler]

Yes they're sovereign citizens basically.

In the US it's the constitution that's twisted and contorted in their semantical garbage compactor (brain)... But in germany the constitution is kinda more progressive I doubt they enjoy smashing their grey matter against it so sovereign citizen in germany are more convoluted:

The gist of it is that when germany was under occupation after the second world war, the occupation forces did never formally establish a german state, instead they made of it an LLC, as evidence they cite some stupid scribbles on the identity card (like the logos and stamps). I doubt they're all in agreement what nationstate they should fall back on, some the third reich, maybe weimarer republik but that must be rare, but past that we have a giant plane of small states and independence claims to fantasize about.

One of the more known ones does totally call himself the king of germany... I don't know if he is affilliated with the current vague of arrests.

[MorleyDev]

maybe weimarer republik but that must be rare.

Don't doubt how far back people will go to discount a current government The Acting Witan of Mercia hold that the current UK government is illegal following the Norman Conquest. Fortumately they're pretty much all the grey-haired hippy types.

Somehow I'm not surprised that something like that exists and that it's comprised of a bunch of old hippies.

Huh. Maybe they played too much kaiserreich

That makes a lot of sense. We still get British sovereign citizens quoting 1300 year old laws and claiming "sovereignty" over British law courts as freemen of the land

[scriver]

I hold that a king has to be elected to have legitimacy, and as no Swedish king has been properly elected since the 16th century, and even today the king is the one who authorises the government, that means no all governmentation and laws since the 16th century is rejectable, and I'll lie in the middle of the road if I want to and theres nothing you can do about it!

[hector13]

What would happen if the Swedish king refused to authorize an elected government unilaterally?

[Frumple]

We'd get to find out what a yote king looks like, probably.

[Loud Whispers]

Banished to Gotland to become a pirate

I have no actual idea, but hopefully it would mean cancel culture on a scale we haven't seen since 1917
