    You should probably update your economic knowledge.

    Study after study over the last 20-30 years has shown that productivity remains or increases when switching from 40 hrs to 32.

      No no no, hours = productivity.

      Monkey types on typewriter for more time, monkey write more code. All top quality. Best code.

        If you mean that the common best practice of working 40 hrs/week is inefficient, then yes.

        Governments aren’t pushing for 40 hr work weeks, socialists and industrialists of the early 1900s were, and the rest is conservatism.

            I don’t know if there’s any studies made specifically on framers, but machinists and manufacturers have been reported to, and of course almost anyone in a knowledge job.

                  So then you would need to dive into why that is true. I actually agree with you because I had a job like that when I was not self employed. And the reason I could be ineffient was because it was directly government funded. The only reason a machinest and manufacturing job can be ineffeicinet is because of government involvement.
