The 40-hour workweek was standardized by socialists in the early 1900s. 8 hours for work, 8 hours for sleep, and 8 hours for whatever else you wanted to do during the day. Obviously, that’s been exploited. I work 68 hours a week and still can’t afford health insurance, and my job doesn’t offer it.

Let’s not forget that before one wage was enough for a family of four a car and a house. Today a single wage gets you a room in a shared apartment.
