Hard to believe but the 40hr week is an improvement

I hope we do. I started working for myself and I've only got my tools on maybe 30hrs a week now, it's pretty great. Most days I can put in a solid 5 or 6 hours and be good. I want that for everyone.

We went relatively quickly from 12h day to 10h and then 8h. And we stopped there for no reason.

Worse, they normalised 2 adults per household working 8 hours per day.

I believe you mean 2 adults, working 8 hours with an unpaid lunch meaning 9 hours out plus commute.

It is pretty sad that we haven't had any progress in 100 years despite all the technological marvels.

Maybe we had some progress but a class that is not the working class keeps all the money?
We will never know.
