There is much more to life than work. We all have families, friends, and a beautiful world to enjoy. We need more time off to enjoy it.

    The most obvious indication that “representatives” only represent capital… They never talk about 4-day work week. NEVER.

      4 day week. 6 hours a day. Including paid 1 hour lunch as productive as we are now vs when 9-5x5 was first established.

      Given how much efficiencies we have gained, shouldn’t we all be working much, much less? Like maybe one or two days a week, and just a few hours? Where did all the efficiency gains go, other than into the pockets of billionaires?

        The thing is, our captains of industry and finance are so fucking hard for infinite growth that we’ll never see a reduction of work hours due to the efficiency, because the efficiency gains are going to be dumped straight into increasing profit.

        The only way we’re getting paid the same to work less hours is if we start hunting those people down.

      Frankly we should be starting the negotiations at 2 days and let them talk us up to 3.
