@Chromino@mstdn.social @jaelisp@lgbtqia.space The 5-day work week was won by fighting, not "technological progress". People died to get us where we are.

It is naïve and stupid to think that the 4 day work week (or anything else really) will come without a fight. We should count ourselves fortunate if they don't send in the army to shell unionized workers, as they did to those demanding the 5 day work week back in the day.

Left to their own, the Industrialists that own the machines will never let an advancement in automation result in less work or more wealth for their slaves. Trickle down only works when the rich are bleeding.
