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.

I really don’t understand how you got that from my post.

I mentioned the fact that I’m often out of cell service on weekends (I like to hike and camp) and so it’s a bad time for an outage.

Are you saying labor conditions need to get worse for everyone in order to get better?

If so I disagree and think we should be advocating for better labor conditions for everyone while protecting things like weekends
