Of course, but our working rights have been heavily eroded the last few decades (name me one person who strictly works 8 hours anymore for a livable wage).
My comment was to say that I’m glad there’s a hardcoded maximum to how long a day physically can be, as a stopgap to any further oppression
whoa, you have 96 hour days?
No, 6 hour days and I have 96 hours worth of things I need to get done.
Can you imagine how nice the world would be if it rotated just a bit slower?
No difference at all. We’d just be forced to work harder and burn out quicker.
I take solace that the 24 hour clock is somewhat immutable to the slave drivers that run our soceity
The 8-hour workday is something the labor movement fought and bled for. “Immutable” my ass.

…that would be me. I work 37h/week and make 160% of the median pay in my country. I would say I’m definitely making a living wage.
That sounds amazing and congrats to you for securing such a career. I’d say I’m earning similar, and it’s by no means livable, but yes YMMV
I have 96 one-hour-long days, yes. That plus a handful of hundred-hour-long days is a full year for me.
