      In response to better technology that reduced the need for work hours.

        no, in response to human beings needing rest. the need for work hours was drastically reduced since, but nothing changed. corporations don’t care, they just want you to work until you die, no matter how much you contribute none of them is gonna say “you know what, that’s enough, maybe you should work less”. wage theft keeps getting worse.

          Yes, but that’s not because technology doesn’t reduce the need for working hours, which is what I argued against.

            no? no one argued tech doesn’t reduce the need for working hours. read it again.
