I'm pretty sure they'd force us to work all 24 hours, because profits and "if you don't like it, leave. I can hire someone else"

lmao. AI robots soon will work for you 24/7. All because we are not perfect, we need to sleep and rest, we complain and require rights + money.

In a future dystopia, required implants will make 16-18 hour days happen

Honestly, why is that lucky? I don't see a difference.

We kinda do it already, I can't be the only one that has taken "power naps" in my office instead of going home to sleep when a crisis hits at work. Hell, after the first one I bought a sleeping bag for those times.

Literally was a post with a picture of Henry Ford with the caption “this man brought us the M-F 9-5” and someone replied “boooo this man”

But, even with sleep requirements, Henry Ford reduced it from the norm of 7 days a week, 12-15 hours.

So I’d imagine that without sleep you’d just never go home.

I mean Ford did under threat of his wife leaving him. He literally had henchmen beating up union organizers.

someone replied “boooo this man”

You sure that wasn’t about the Anti-Semitism? It’s almost like the Great Man idea of history is a false one…
