    Literally was a post with a picture of Henry Ford with the caption “this man brought us the M-F 9-5” and someone replied “boooo this man”

    But, even with sleep requirements, Henry Ford reduced it from the norm of 7 days a week, 12-15 hours.

    So I’d imagine that without sleep you’d just never go home.

      You sure that wasn’t about the Anti-Semitism? It’s almost like the Great Man idea of history is a false one…

      While it was a change for the better back then, it was a century ago. It’s high time the work week gets reduced again while keeping the wages intact. It’s totally doable.
