"No man should have to work more than 40 hours per week!"
"Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable."
"Women should be able to work for the same wages!"
"Of course. We should all have equal rights."
"20 hours should be the new work week!"
"I don't know, man. Seems pretty leftist. It's not like we nearly doubled employment."
Our grandparents earned enough as single earners to provide for their entire family and own a house.
Now 2 people work and they can barely pay rent on an apartment.
Its not hard to see why the right cries about the good old times, except somehow its the gays, and not the bourgeoisie that they believe are what caused the decline.
Agreed, and I feel like that's what I'm getting at here. A family of five used to be able to exchange 40 hours of labor with the economy and at least get by. Now it's 80 hours, and we're struggling. The right is suggesting we put our children to work to make up the difference.
I think we're on the same page.
Absolutely, just re-iterating using different words.
Oh, well, thank you then. Now I'm just envious that I wasn't able to communicate my message as clearly and succinctly. Kudos to you.
Look at the bright side!
At least the bourgeoisie can provide for their ENTIRE family now.
Oh and there are probably more bourgeoisie than back then.
