Hard to believe but the 40hr week is an improvement

We went relatively quickly from 12h day to 10h and then 8h. And we stopped there for no reason.

It is pretty sad that we haven't had any progress in 100 years despite all the technological marvels.

Likely only compared to the industrialisation era:

We can do better though.

I 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.
