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

    Love to never be able to leave my city for an overnight trip...

    Here's an idea. How about we keep Sat and Sun, but then also take Wednesday. While we're at it, let's chop those 8 hour days down to 6 hour days. And let's pay people the same (more, ideally) annually.

    That is, if a workers' revolt isn't a possibility.

      This dumbass thinks split weekends aren't a thing. Motherfucker for half the service industry, our days off are whatever boss man feels like giving us that week. Half the time I get Wednesday and Friday off. It's mentally fucking exhausting. I'm always a day away from having to go back to work.

      Eat shit CGP Grey, and maybe think about getting a real fucking job before you tell us how split weekends would make us more complacent to be robbed.

      This fool must not have any friends or social life either. The two day weekend should be a 3 day weekend.

            "Extreme introvert" sounds more like a future mass murderer than "loner" tbh...

            Hey now, I'm a total extrovert but a loner. Sucks to get older as I drift further left but all my old friends drift right. And a lot of younger people are immediately weirded out when an old person tries to talk to them, so I try to stick to my cohort, but they're all managing jobs, mortgages, and children. We're all becoming atomized.

            Nothing wrong with preferring your own company, but there are people that extrapolate that preference into viewing humanity as nothing but mindless automatons to be sated and managed. CGP Grey probably doesn't think literally in those terms but isolating yourself can lead to this kind of neoliberal thinking. Plus it's a good idea to get out of the house and try to make acquaintances with people with similar interests.

      Yeah, like, why would you want to split up the weekend? It's such a weird idea, having one day off doesn't give you enough time to do anything, it only gives you time to rest a little bit. But forget about taking a trip, or meeting with friends, or having a party, or even idk getting drunk and falling into a coma for the next day.

      That is, if a workers’ revolt isn’t a possibility.

      Honestly, the revolt seems more likely than shortening the work week nowadays, at least in the USA.

      This is where I thought the video was going to go, logically - I did a double take when I saw Saturday disappear on the graphic. I suppose I should have expected it from OP's title.
