    The 40.00 is only what they are legally allowed to say/propaganda. Otherwise even 80 would be depicted as barely chad.

    We had protests and deaths to achieve that 40.

      Actually, we had protests and deaths to achieve 40 hours a household. Now it’s 80 hours a household. They’ve scammed us. We’re working twice as much for less pay.

        Isn’t it just someone else watching the kids and cooking the food? Except now that daycare worker or cook might be a man.

        It’s certainly an efficiency improvement (different people different skills) but not double the work IMHO.

        Now when covid hit and we had to educate our own kids and cook our own food, while holding down our jobs - that was double the work.

          No. Most people can’t afford to have someone else do it even on 80 hours for the household.

          It’s a privilege to still have a house servant even if they are paid.

        A tragedy of about 2 dead billionaires?

        Bcs 20 is plenty.
        Most companies would comfortably survive doubling their wage costs. And the ones that wouldn’t could still just live with a lower production.
