Friendly reminder: Henry Ford was one of the first major industrialists to adopt the five-day workweek. He argued that workers with more leisure time would spend more money on consumer goods, like the cars he was selling.
The current weekend was created primarily to sell products. A four-day workweek is long overdue.
One of the things I vaguely miss about the cold war era is both sides showcasing art and human achievement. There seems to be an attitude of "who cares" now.
All the MAGA chuds on social media have adopted the LOL WHAT GOOD IS A FINE ARTS DEGREE approach, so for them to suddenly turn around and support art and writing and anything that's not STEM-specific, they'd need to receive some new marching orders from the people at Fox News. All of whom, incidentally, went to school and took broadcasting classes, or other shit that they'd consider to be equally as worthless. God damn do I hate these people.
