    Its been like this for a while, in my state its totally legal for you to close at 1am and then open at 5am the following day. If people truly, truly knew the value of sleep on health and function they'd go full prole revolt in a week. All the horrors one can come up for capital are either in place or so nascent one barely notices.

    Anyway, as this is right now is just another technobro grift.

      I've done that shit before, called "clopening" to make it sound cute and fun instead of the often-punitive experience it actually is. Asshole bosses did it to people they hated.
