Wanting to have a weekend is smug and privileged now?

People fought hard for the 40 hour work week and 2 day weekend.

You think that should be given up?

Oh, I know all about that history. Having been a volunteer for Bernie Sanders back in 2015, I admired him as being one of the remaining few people who actually remembered this history due to him being part of the Silent Generation and continue to fight for it decades later.

>You think that should be given up?

Not really what I said. My point was that in an era of transition where we started with a 40 hour workweek and a two day weekend, the positive outcome could be a 30 hour workweek and a three day weekend or more. That transition period from one to the other is extremely precarious for everybody and is what we are in currently. It isn't going to transition until a great deal of people make it so, and they only do that when the pain reaches home for them. In the interim, your advice is counterproductive. My take away from this past election: the overwhelming majority are not going to change until it gets real for them. Your advice is to light yourself on fire in the meantime.
