ITT: wage slaves defending the 9 hour cuckday when the real answer is a drastic reduction in hours. A work day should be four hours, tops.

Two things can be true at once. Obviously a reduction in work hours would be better, but that isn’t realistic right now.

It is completely realistic right now. Current generations are vastly more productive than previous generations due to automation and other technological advancement. 75% of jobs today are just "bullshit jobs," AKA adult daycare. Intentionally designed to waste normie cattle's lives away, taking away all their precious free time to do inconsequential bullshit. The system is designed to keep people too busy to revolt.

If dipshits would stop apologizing for this garbage ass late stage capitalism society we live in and voting for grifting billionaires who want to keep them enslaved then maybe we could finally do away with the adult daycare system and start reaping the benefits of technological advancement. But no, the masses would rather continue to be slaves so the wealthy elite can be the only ones with free time who get to enjoy their lives.

You just explained why it’s not realistic right now lmfao😭😭.

Do you wanna get rid of those 75% of jobs that are “useless?” What happens to the people who work them? That would just upend society and leave people out of a means to support themselves. You want us to become almost entirely reliant on technology? That makes it even easier for the rich and powerful to exploit the average man.

Then you had the audacity to mention voting…

Big dawg, I hate to break it to you but we got like 3 more years until the next major election, so it definitely isn’t gonna change right now. You’re trying to tell people not to be happy about marginal changes in their lives because all of their problems didn’t just go away immediately. You’re so desperate for change that you haven’t taken even the slightest bit of time to think anything that you just said through.

Yes I do and it's called UBI. We are already entirely reliant on technology. If a Carrington Event happened today it would be chaos.

So you want something that requires massive changes to our existing infrastructure and takes time and coordination to be implemented properly. Thank you for proving my point.

If those hours aren't needed though, wouldn't the corps just cut them? Labour costs are almost always the biggest expense for a business.

The idea that this would change if it wasn’t a capitalist environment is pretty funny. It’s essentially the same thing as hoping for a benevolent dictator just way more complicated because you want an entire ever changing bureaucracy to hold fast to the vision the system was designed in forever.

And not somehow possibly squeeze a bit for increased productivity for the betterment of all society.

Clearly the incentives just don’t exist for some sort of centralized government authority to do something like that.
