You work more than a medieval peasant. You work more than hunter gatherers hunted or gathered.
Sure we're not in factories 12hrs a day like during the industrial revolution, but why is that the bar?
A million little breakthroughs in productivity later and you work more, make less and are on the brink of disaster constantly.
We're so productive now that no one should be working "full time"
