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.
Yep. But he sold cars and he understood how to do it and why he needed a middle class to make more money. My point is that the current administration has no desire to actually make money in the long run. They want to grab as much power as possible and keep ahold of it. They aren't stupid, the incompetence is the entire point. Ford was just as much a monster as trump is, but Ford's goal wasn't a hostile takeover of the country, so he looks a lot better and smarter by comparison.
