minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoWe went relatively quickly from 12h day to 10h and then 8h. And we stopped there for no reason.
minus-squareCritFail@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 day agoWorse, they normalised 2 adults per household working 8 hours per day.

minus-squareRandomStickman@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoIt is pretty sad that we haven’t had any progress in 100 years despite all the technological marvels.
minus-squarelugal@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoMaybe we had some progress but a class that is not the working class keeps all the money? We will never know.

minus-squareA_Union_of_Kobolds@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 day agoI hope we do. I started working for myself and I’ve only got my tools on maybe 30hrs a week now, it’s pretty great. Most days I can put in a solid 5 or 6 hours and be good. I want that for everyone.

We can do better though.
