@AlexanderKingsbury I don't think people prefer to work longer, it's just that most positions are full-time (open a job board and tell me how many part-time positions do you see). And the reason for this is the same as it always was: capitalists want to have the workers at their disposal for as long as possible.

@AlexanderKingsbury They generally just find a person who is desperate enough to stay 8 hours for the price of 6.

Again, open a job board and see how many part-time positions are there.

@AlexanderKingsbury

My theory, as I said, is that they generally just find a person who is desperate enough to stay 8 hours for the price of 6.

What's your theory?

@AlexanderKingsbury More than 8 is illegal, this is where the conversation started.

@AlexanderKingsbury Depends on the country.

@AlexanderKingsbury I will quit this conversation here, cause it's going nowhere, as you clearly don't have anything to offer.

It's funny how the people who live in "democracies" take the least amount of accountability for the actions of their leaders (although formally democratic leaders are supposed to act in the behalf of the people) while people living under authoritarian-run regimes are routinely punished for the actions of their dictators e.g. bombing innocents in #Gaza and other Arab countries is seen as justified because they "support terrorism", while the average American is never judged for the wars their government started.
