So I'm in Canada Ontario, but I'm wondering why all of North America hasn't moved to less working hours and less days by now. What's holding the U.S. and Mexico back?
In Canada it's because we technically follow the US literally. We're willing to abolish day light savings time but won't make the move unless the US does. (Not looking forward to losing sleep this year).
But seriously what's holding us back from getting a living wage at 4 days 30 hours (NOT 40!!!)
I know the answer is most likely.
“Capitalism” or “baby boomers raised the way they are”
But reality is there are millennials who also believe there is nothing to do in life except work.
I'm sick and tired of holding out for a miracle and convincing myself it's OK to want to play video games, my guitar and have other hobbies that really aren't feasible because I have a daughter and wife and 5 days a week are dedicated to cooking cleaning working and responsibility and day 6 is for errands, gas, shopping and extra chore work while day 7 is spent with my family. Where's day 8 where I get to be me outside work and my family? I know it sounds selfish but how the hell do consumers that make stuff like mature video games for adults and expect us to spend money on it if we don't have time for it?
I just want more life to live and not 10 waking years of life if I live till 83 from the age 21. Seems very unfair.
