All the comments hinge on whether it is fundamentally wrong or abusive for people to have to work 12-hour shifts or significantly more than the current American 40-hour per week standard. It's not the absolute amount of work people have to do to survive that is fundamentally wrong. If everyone commenting here got ship wrecked on a desert island together and we worked 100 hour weeks and had children work too in order to survive, it is obviously not fundamentally wrong. What's fundamentally wrong is that we effectively have a world-wide caste system. People in the upper castes live in better environments with better laws, consume a far greater share of the planet's resources per-capita, don't have to work as much, get paid more and own more of the planet per-capita, and on top of all that they leverage an economic system that is able to provide them with even more wealth (super computers in their pockets, hand-picked strawberries) and the freedom to work less and play more (hire nannies, maids and janitors, have food delivered) for incredibly cheap by coercing a race to the bottom for those in the bottom castes, who have to work harder, longer and in jobs upper caste people would consider nightmares and would need expensive therapists to recover from. I hate Elon Musk and Twitter is a hellscape, but if you used it for one thing, it should be to follow United Farmworker's account for a daily reminder of what your upper caste life is built upon. https://twitter.com/UFWupdates https://twitter.com/UFWupdates
