I'm not seeking to blame the average earner over the super rich. Most people are very much attached to consumption, it's been a bigger factor that kept the common 40h week than the employers very possible desire to keep workers hustling so much. Which people? In term of numbers and total impact that would be regular people, more so than those possibly having more leverage on defining what a working week should look like. In any case the control is over the regular people. If the latter change the other bunch will de facto have to revisit how much they consume, by rough as much.
