A workday was also like 4 hours or less in biblical times though.
The idea that people in the past worked long, grueling hours due to lack of technology is a myth. People had way more free time in those days.

I've heard this a few times and wholeheartedly believe it. But I don't know any sources, when I'm asked. Do you happen to know any?
I wish my industry had unions lol
Find enough other people who think that way and it will.
Hey friend, from your post history it looks like you're a software person in some capacity, or at least you have the tech skills of one.
Your industry has unions. I'm in one. It's hard work - tech is mostly not organized. But you can absolutely do it, and you can win real, material improvements to your working conditions, with or without going through a union election.
My software engineering coworkers using our union have, in the last year, won at least these things through direct, bottom-up organizing on our shop floor:
- 2 weeks notice of manager or work assignment changes
- Removal of a misogynist manager
- Several policy concessions around this specific thing our company does to frighten workers at performance review time
- Dropped mandatory overtime on a team
- Changes to hiring transparency to improve hiring of under-represented minorities
None of us were organizers three years ago.
Feel free to DM me to talk more, or you can check out some other resources:
God doesn't exist.
And in a few more decades neither will unions. I'd laugh if it wasn't so sad.
Wait how do you know?
Let me rephrase. "There is no evidence that god exists". Better?
No.
Somehow the reddit athiest gang is even worse here lol
Good. I'd rather be around logical, reasonable atheists, than nonsensical bible-thumpers.
And god put the weekend on saturday
So, you can still thank god it's friday
(Also Henry Ford, not the unions, made the 5 day work week)
In Germany, it was the unions who made the 5 day work week. So we can still tell God to fuck off and thank our unions like OP intended
I also believe that he wanted to use the extra profits that Ford made to invest into better processes to make the cars cheaper and to increase the wages and conditions of the workers.
Then the share holders sued him saying that he had an obligation to give them their share of the profits and won....
That's why big corporations always become soulless. They're forced by the shareholders
So, you can still thank god it’s friday
But which god? Not the Christian one, because Friday is named after Freya, a Norse god. And Saturday was named after Saturn, a Roman god.
In Hebrew the days are named after numbers (day 1-7)
I like the facts, but know nothing about Dale Earnhardt. Was he not a typical Republican?
It's hard to say, while he did grow up stuck in a western town, outside of racing there's not much else known about his life outside of what's been show by him and his son.
You can't make assumptions based on the stereotypes.
I know, that's why I'm asking, for all I know he was very liberal. I'm not a NASCAR guy by any stretch and don't know anything about these guys, but I know what the fans tend to be like.
Is there a source for this quote? My googling failed me
It's a meme. Dale Earnhardt (probably) didn't say tthat.
Yeahhh. That writing, too, lmao. As a Carolinian, the little faded "comrade" was a good one. Down to earth and huge hearted as he was said to be, I don't think the christian republican co-owner of Dale Earnhardt Inc. is your friendski, pal

Did I miss an internet? What's with all the Dale memes lately?
I thank Pope Gregory XIII who introduced calendar according to which today is Friday.
