Greece re-introduces the 6 day work week... It used to be the standard. Y'know, in the 18th fucking century

And the 19th, and a large part of the 20th too

I'm 50 and I've worked 6-day weeks probably 90% of my working life which started at 14. Even before that, it's not like you actually got the whole weekend off. I was an honors student, there was always tons of homework.

I’m never gonna have a lot of money but at least I had more time to myself.
