Here’s a reminder that the 40 hour work week was intended to have a partner at home, to take care of the housework, errands, bills, etc while the employee was at work. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and like you don’t have enough time in the weekend, it’s because the weekend was supposed to be free. But since wages haven’t kept up with inflation, everyone in the house needs to work, meaning nobody is available to be a homemaker.
It's ridiculous that with all this automation we end up working more, not less
How else would the rich get richer, faster than ever? Do you expect them to work?!
So much this. We need to take back our time and cut down towards a 20 hour work week on average. 4 day work week is a START.
