If the situation is as you describe, why is anyone pushing for a 13 hour work day?

  To legalise overtime for the few highly qualified employees that are worth it. Now it's just illegal to ask them to work more. And public sentiment is deeply irrational as always. Like in the US, why do people continuously battle over non-issues like abortion, guns, global warming or transgender rights, but no one seems to have ever protested over the very real, and fixable, issue of gerrymandering?

    Didn't Texas legislators just protest that?
    • anovikov 1y ago
      Legislators sure because their asses depend on it. But common people? And this is the worst perversion of democratic principles in America and if people were even halfways rational they'd go full rage over. But no one seems to give a damn. Only big issue that's visible in public space that's not entirely made up, is immigration - but even there, views are deeply partisan and completely divorced from reality on both ends.
