I mean my initial post had the working hours bit as sort of a side note to the fact that consumers should be elevated but they’re overworked, scapegoated, and swindled.
With all of the technological advancements in production of food, equipment, and toys, thanks to the industrial and technological revolutions I have a philosophical problem with the fact that modern day commoners work more than 40 hours a week just to stay broke. I mean as it stands, we have the power to very easily have a 24 hour work week with a living wage for a job stocking shelves at a grocery store. That wouldnt bankrupt the rich or the corporations because that shelf stocker is 100% going to turn around and put all of that money right back into the economy. And then those who are motivated would get a second job as a clerk and earn double a living wage to build up capital and then themselves perhaps have the means to produce even more jobs and goods. That is how capitalism should work.
