    Did you even read the article you shared? It’s still 8 hour days, the workweek would become 32 hours

            Weird flex but ok. I work for a state organization and enjoy my career too but I’m not pining to give them more of my time than is necessary.

              It’s a flex to say I don’t work for a corporation to a comment about being ‘a corporate shrill’?

              Some people enjoy their career.

                I absolutely enjoy my career, too. But the point is, with increases in technology and efficiency, we should be able to work 32 hours a week and accomplish the same amount of work as we are doing today in 40, giving that extra day back to ourselves to improve our mental health. I have worked internationally, and I can tell you that Americans are known for being overworked.

        Let me tell you about this wonderful invention called video games

        Or pick up Masturbation (lol) Or go outside and make fists with your toes with bare grass (aka “touching grass” as the zoomers say) or Marijuana which is now legal in some states.

        Lots of thing’s you can do in those extra 8 hours.

        You can pick up a hobby. Consider gardening or whatever… Anything better than making some rich asshole even richer.
