I have mixed feelings on this. Would the other day mean businesses are closed? What happens to businesses that are open 7 days a week, like retail and food services?

I have mixed thoughts on this as well. Would we be going to four days of 10 hours? I'm not sure if that sounds healthy either.

Right?! But on second thought, I'm not sure that would be a good idea. A lot of things will be affected, including the constant availability of goods and services, salaries, daily work hours, etc. And let's be honest, if everyone could choose a life where they wouldn't have to work to take care of their needs and wants, most people would choose that option. We could adopt a 3-day work week, and the rest days still won't be enough.
