> Deserves? Why does anyone deserve anything? Nature itself does not act that way. Deserves in the same sense that they deserve the other natural rights and protections which are afforded them within our societies. I wouldn't be quite so prescriptive about the number of hours, but being able to work in a decent and humane manner, without damaging your health, and with space for an outside life, is significantly more important than many other natural rights. > How about those of us born into a life of privilege work harder until suffering is alleviated, until pain is removed, until equality is reached. Work, for the vast majority of people, has no such aim, and no such outcome. If anything, people in the developed world are often in direct competition with their counterparts elsewhere.
