    They’ll never agree to a 4 day work week, because then they know they’ll be looking at a 3 day work week one day.

      This is the war that’s coming.

      More and more processes are automatic, and AI is now breaking down the last holdout of “manual” jobs.

      How will that future, where only a small percentage of mankind actually needs to work, look like? It could be heaven, but it’s shaping up to be hell unless we win these fights.

      Unlikely. While a 4 day week generates more profit with happier workers, a 3 day week doesn’t.

        I just don’t see us moving down to a 5 day work week from six. God already gave us one day off for us to find happiness in his glory I don’t see what a second day would add to it. And how will the factories make money when the children aren’t there to run the machines?
