    It’s not even a new thing either.

    It used to be that every single piece of fabric was handmade, every book handwritten.

    Humans have been losing out on labor since they realized Og was faster at bashing rocks together than anyone else.

    It’s just a question of if we redistribute the workload. Like turning “full time” down to 6 days a week and eventually 5, or working hours from 12+ to 8hrs. Which inflates the amount of jobs to match availability.

    Every single time the wealthy say we can’t. But eventually it happens, the longer it takes, the less likely it’s peaceful.

      Where are you that 7 days a week 12 hour days is full time? That’s literally just always working. Standard full time in the states is 40 hour work weeks.

      But eventually

      There’s no eventually, people have been killed, murdered and harassed whilst fighting to make it a reality. Someone has to fight to make it happen and an “eventually” diminishes the value of the effort and risks put forth by labor activists all over the world throughout history. It didn’t happen magically, people worked really hard to make it so.
