You'd be absolutely livid if you found out how your ancestors earned the right to a weekend and a 40 hour work week.

I'm trying to recall an incident (19th or 20th c.) where a mine or a factory hired strikebreaker snipers to climb into towers and shoot down into the strikers.

The only reason we have days off is because of productivity gains due to investment in capital goods. If we can wean ourselves off of a debt-based economy, then we might be able to whittle that workweek down even further. We seem to have stalled right around 1971 when dollar convertibility was suspended.

The reason you have days off is due to decades of labor agitation. Productivity has continued to climb even after the 70s.

Where did you get the idea that is how it happened? That claim is not backed up by history at all.

Lots of factual claims, no support included.

Learn some history.
