You want to work??
Yes. I want something to do routinely otherwise I'll go crazy. I want to contribute to society's production and do my part. I want to put my time and effort into inventing, creating, and generally making life better for everybody. I don't want to have to do it under threat of starvation, and I damn sure don't want to do it for some asshole who just wants to watch number go up.
Yes, I want to contribute to a project, a product, a group. Every week, and most days of that week.
I don't want to sit around in leisure often, just sometimes.
Be clear, I didn't say I want to further corporate profits, necessarily.
Hell yeah! Nothings better than a hard days work and keeping the profit I created. Working is great! Being exploited by corporations is not great, it is bad and why we correlate work with being bad, because we correlate work with being Exploited. It doesnt have to be this way.
We can discuss semantics all day long (like antiwork vs work reform) but the 4 days week is by no means revolutionary. You do something fulfilling, then the number doesn't count; you have a minde numbing job than any number is too much.
