Not only does the Democratic Party have a base, its base is larger and more loyal than those of almost any other party in the world, even in other two-party systems. Voter loyalty in general is extremely high in the US, which is one of the major issues that has led to the current constitutional crisis.

They are extremely important to drive innovation and hence growth and profit in capitalist systems.
Hence it’s not surprising that the most affluent capitalist systems make sure that education is universally accessible.
I don’t know if there is a “legally defined work week.” The “average work week” is just the average hours worked by anyone performing paid labour, which includes part-time workers, who consist of about half the workforce.
The median employee in the Netherlands is just barely at the threshold of working full-time (defined as 35 hours or more). Few of those who work full-time cross 40 hours, and part-time can be well below 30; the average comes out to about 30.
Of those working part-time (less than 35 hours), about 12% would like to work more but has no suitable work available, so these are underemployed people working part-time.
If this is what they want, it’s really not very well thought through. Employers can just pay the same amount for 40 hours (paying less for the initial 32 and more for the subsequent 8), and employees will have greater incentives to keep their working week at 40 instead of having more flexibility for work-life balance. This would discourage 32-hour work weeks except for those jobs where employers can easily hire more people to compensate for the 8-hour shortfall (and those jobs are very few in number).
In fact, in Europe it’s usually the opposite, where overtime is more heavily taxed, so both employers and employees have incentives to keep the work week within sensible hours. In addition, overtime tends to be restricted by collective wage agreements, which, in contrast to the USA, often apply to non-union members.
It’s somewhat similar to Germany, yes, though Germany has fewer part-time workers. In Germany (where I also live) the default options are 35 or 40 hours, though it’s becoming more common to have options to work less even in “full time” type of jobs.
Anyway, I doubt the “democratic socialists” in the USA want to ban working more than 32 hours, they just want people to have the same option people have in rich European countries.
Is it? The average work week in the Netherlands is 30 hours. That is the current status quo, not even what the “left-leaning” parties propose for the future.
Oh no! It’s… European centrist?! And a rogue Free Palestine with a steel chair from the corner!
The price elasticity varies by market. The publisher makes an assessment of what price maximizes their profits. In addition to that, fluctuations in currency markets can lead to (temporary) distortions of the relative price measured in the same currency. After all, a seller in Kazakhstan isn’t going to update prices daily just because the USD or EUR exchange rate has changed.
Why should they “turn a blind eye” to non-migrants who do not follow an “honest living”?
