Many people aren't aware of why we work 40 hrs a week. In particular in the United States it has alot to do with the Jewish Sabbath. If you're aware of how the sabbath works.. it runs from something like sundown friday evening to saturday evening.

So it started with Henry Ford big production lines having to stop due to this religious observance. So Henry Ford was like forget the entire thing we'll just close it down since we have to stop the line anyway.

This is what i mean. In society you give people a system they don't question it, they just will go full steam ahead with it. Many people are lazy they don't wanna think about anything. It's easier to just get in it and go. let someone else deal with it.

So this doesn't really have anything to do with production from a worker. If i hire 5 guys to do a job. They all work at different production levels. I got the guy does more than his share for the week. I got the guy does just enough and the other who just shows up.. just a body there. We have this on every job.

So what this is really about .. or is mostly about now is people performing meaningless repetitive tasks that either they shouldn't have to do or won't be doing in the near future. The reasoning is in some weird universe they feel like by having people do dumb repetitive tasks they don't need to do that it is giving them meaning in life".

As if they are not in any shape or form capable of producing meaning out of life for themselves because they say, lol. I don't think every conversation should end and " ubi is the answer". However even in terms of reducing the work week. It's really about trading off time and energy for money. So yes ubi would by default be reducing that down.
