ACCORDING to the news over the weekend, Malacañang is “studying” the latest genius non-solution to “solve” the traffic crisis, the implementation of a voluntary four-day workweek for the balance of the holiday season for non-critical government personnel and the private sector. The idea has some merit in a general sense, but in terms of its specific objective and timing is a pants-on-head level of stupid, just as most other “solutions” that have been proposed or tried.
