How should one spend their remaining 60+ hours in a week?
What about all the time spent commuting, taking care of children/family/pets/friends, grocery shopping and cooking, cleaning the house/clothes/dishes, learning things (at school or not), etc? What makes these things so different from work? Should the government put a weekly limit on these things too?
Why should a narcoleptic crippled 50 year old, single-earner, single parent, with 4 young kids, a house, continuing education, narcolepsy, 2 hour daily commute and minimum wage job, have the same working week limit as a single 20 year old with no outside responsibilities who loves his fulfilling job and have an employer that takes care of most of his needs?
- perl4ever 8y agoAre you implying the 50 year old should be allowed to work more because they need money more, or the 20 year old should be allowed to work more because they are more capable of working long hours? Why not both? But then why are you juxtaposing the two?
- miguelrochefort 8y agoI'm implying that: - 50 year old overworks at 52 hours a week - 20 year old underworks at 52 hours a week This leads me to think that this 52 hours is arbitrary and likely inadequate.
