I'm not American

Don't think too much about it, goy. Just keep wagecuc- I mean, "working" for your corporate masters

Cant afford to give people raises or let them work less for the same money because CEOs and Lobbyists are expensive.

If you worked 40 hours a week on your own business, no matter what it is, you would be making double within a year or two

Yea thats easy to say, but not everyone has the skills. My skill is so niche and the market for this is very specific that i cannot utilize it as a business, so im stuck.

pls send help, i want to be free

I worked for 1 days once. It was awful. Im almost 30

It's funny because if I was working less hours I'd be more productive but i do 45-50 hours a week and milk it

who still works 40 hours though? in most office jobs you can just sit on your phone or hang out with coworkers most of the day. only service and research *requires* 40 hours, because the law says 40 and you want to maximize output. but in those jobs most people work more than 40 lol.

40 was decided as a fair number. that has nothing to do with "progress." french people work less but their businesses are garbage quality.
