It feels kind of hopeless now that we'd ever get something that feels so "radical", but I'd like to remind people that 80+ hour work weeks without overtime used to be the norm before unions got us the 40 hour work week. It feels inevitable and hopeless until the moment we get that breakthrough, then it becomes the new norm.
