Antiwork

I sometimes think I’d be fine with all the oppressive conditions working under capitalism if I just didn’t have to work 40 hours a week

Maybe I sound crazy but I really think I would be somewhat less miserable if I still had to experience all the horrors of working under greedy capitalists (low wages, disrespect, ALL of it) if I just didn't have to do it 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 40 hours a week. I think one of biggest issues is that we spend so much time unhappy making other people rich. If the normal working time was 30 hours or less a week (of course, with wages adjusted to fit the 40 hour standard), I think I'd be so happy to atleast have more of my time to do what I want with (or maybe I'd have more time to lament about how poor I am, idk).
