True. Apparently I'm much more naive just before I sleep.

I guess we'll just have to wait and see, considering working hours have still been decreasing in the last few decades.

You got me thinking about trade unions but, in contrast to last night, I'd rather not write down some unsubstantiated things.

Depends on where you are, I think. I know working hours in the US surpassed Japan over ten years ago, where they actually have a word for "death by overwork."

Don't get me wrong - there are very real problems. I just find the "idle half the workforce" approach to be myopic.

Definitely, take a look at this. USA is pretty much the only country to stay the same.
