>It's an 8-hour day and you can finish your work in 3-4 hours.
A guy literally said this in a 1970s porn movie dialogue. I immediately took my hand off my cock and thought of /biz/. Now tell me, if in the 1970s they knew this, why are we still working 8 hours a day?

If you have time to think about how terrible things are you will begin to look for who is benefiting.

Of course this boomer 'advice' doesn't work when no one is actually hiring, even if they have infinite help wanted posters.

It's because you're basically an on call, contractual worker. It's impossible to plan out something for you to do every single minute. There are busy and down periods, they just want your time to cover that. It's not some kind of crazy scheme.

The 40 hour work week only happened because people were willing to fight and die in shootouts with corporate goons to make it happen. 8 hour days were a compromise. They would steal more of your life away if they could because their greedy desire for control demands that they do so if they can.
