A.I. aside, we should get 4 day work weeks regardless.

Improved efficiencies should mean we all benefit across all sectors and ways of life.

But improved efficiencies actually mean none of us benefit except those at the top. We should all of us be paid more, have more time off, and have more excess - but at a high level we are all paid no extra, we get no extra time off, we get no excess - that all gets enjoyed by those at the top.

This is one of many reasons this should be a class war, not a culture war.

Sounds like what unions are for.

My local union is working six 10 hour days and then bragging how well they are taken care of. That's not out of the norm either.
