In 1924, the average family worked 40 hours a week. Now it works 80. That’s what happens when you double the workforce and fail to change anything else.
A 20 hour workweek is equivalent to what our great grandparents were doing. Society CAN afford it. It’s just a matter of fighting for it.
Don’t thank God. God was a supporter of the 6-day work week.
Thank a labor activist.
We need more of those in that case. A 3 day weekend seems plausible.

I live in the US. As a rule, I work a four day week with a three day weekend. I’ve turned down jobs because they didn’t offer it as an option.
Unfortunately, the week I work is 4x10. I’d certainly rather have one day a week rather than two hours a day, but both would be far preferable.
I still end up regularly logging in on Fridays because of people with unimportant meetings and inflexible schedules.
Not just plausible, preferable!
