Ah, but if people said the same thing, people were right. The number of repetitive jobs (being a peasant, moving your hand up and down a loom) has indeed decreased.
- coldtea 9y agoBeing a peasant (in the sense of someone working in the land, not as the subject to some feudal lord) was much more free and far less repetitive than being a factory worker (or an office drone for that matter). People also don't understand how many free hours those people had (because a lot of farm work is seasonal).

- coldtea 9y agoDepends on the place. The mediterranean winter (which I am aware of) in places like Spain, France, Italy, Greece, etc, was not that much of a deal.
