Who cares. Even if I feel just as bad during the week, I have more weekend time. That's worth it.

We don't have a worldwide labor shortage (!). Productivity going up and work hours not going is a travesty.

There's a labor shortage in US right now. You can feel it everywhere: from having to book car mechanic appointment weeks in advance to construction projects going to standstill.

And there's also millions of people that could be working but aren't:
