So true. People seem to have convinced themselves that 35/40 hour weeks was some kind of ideal or agreed amount of hours we all found to be the best balance of all things.

Nope, it used to be 60, until people fought back and made them reduce the hours they're forced to work for other people's profit.

The problem is, we stopped fighting back.
