When humans went to a six day work week, the wealthy said it would end civilization.

When we went to a five day work week, they said the same.

Same as when we said overtime needs more pay, women should be paid more, 9 year olds can't work in coal mines, and basically every other labor law from the past 10,000 years.

Don't know why people still listen to them

    And we are more productive than ever due to automation. I bet 2 days would be enough to keep society running. Nothing fancy though. 3 would be enough for economic growth.

    Anything more is just to make oligarchs richer.
