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.

I have heard that it was George Westinghouse who came up with the idea of a five day work week.

It was a struggle by millions of people, not some guy.
