The new 8 hour workday

I concede, perhaps we ARE just lazy bags of meat. We should enjoy working 8 hours a day. I know I would if it looked like: 1 hrs paid commute 4 hrs paid labor 1/2 hrs paid lunch 1/2 hrs administrative and clerical work (organizing, budgeting, paying bills/taxes, record keeping, setting appointments, auditing your paycheck because these greedy motherfuckers can’t be trusted to pay the wages that they owe, etc.) 1 hrs household chores (cleaning, cooking, gardening, recycling, running errands etc.) 1 hrs education That leaves our 8 hours recreation unfettered by trivial work for which employers have, since the disappearance of the stay-at-home spouse, escaped the cumbersome labor bill.
