Good: pointing out that the 5 day work week sucks

Bad: his entire plan sucks. Having 2 seperate days off means that there are no days for yourself, only constant work or rest

    I like when he goes "this schedule won't work for everyone but that's okay. It'll actually make my life easier when I have the day off but you all work". No wonder reddit loves this dude.

      To get a little controversial, this also extends into how Covid-19 has turned into bourgeois privilege. My friends were at a party and advised by contact tracers to quarantine for 14 days. When you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, taking time off work isn't going to cover income +tips. So I didn't feel it was my place to judge them. (This was months ago, she turned out not to have Covid.)

      Same bourgeois privilege with Andrew Yang's proposed 4-day work week. You think field, service, or factory workers will be granted that extra day off? Nah, this is PMC poppycock.

      It's this casual disdain for humanity that shows where extreme introversion can lead you where you start thinking the presence of other people is an abrasion to your quality of life and they have to be culled and managed with half-baked neoliberal concessions. Sometimes it's good to be around other people and in touch with society.
