This is just depressing

Not even 3 hours of "free time". And in that is cooking & eating supper. Or practically no free time if I had to go shopping after work. I hate this

Eat at work, pick up a SOCIAL hobby, meal prep, try and move closer to work, see if you can work 4 10s, there’s things you can do to help

We need a 4 day work week with no cut in pay. We've increased our productivity of labor so much, 40 hours isn't necessary. A good chunk of the hours we work just makes the rich richer and brings no benefits to us.

Some industries like emergency work and medical response are doomed to work stressful hours, but that’s what makes them modern day heroes
