Who decided on the 5:2 ratio, where does he live and who wants to join me on an expedition to find him and physically punish him?
We deserve at least 5:4. Personally I think 4:5 would be nice. I'd get a lot done.

The numbers didn’t come from nothing, but certainly didn’t come from any great calculation. It came from how much we (the workers) could wrestle away from industrialists. Google scholar searches (not very extensive, feel free to repeat) weakly suggests that cutting work hours may have a net positive effect on economy, so as long as I’m operating from the worker perspective, it actually makes sense to not settle on the current ratio. It’s like settling on your wage because you once got a raise 105 years ago.
