        We’re discussing why they choose to structure society that way.

        These arguments have been going on for generations, and Americans tend to be useful idiots proud to work for their overlords.

          You are clearly not trying to “discuss anything”. Making glib generalizations and dismissing major reasons why people work excessive hours shows you would rather victim blame than actually have a discussion. And if you believe most Americans are “proud to work for overlords”, then you are buying into the overlords propaganda.

          yes because the modern worker who is in the group that would be most directly affected by Sanders’ proposal were involved in building the current work culture in america and totally have a choice about participating in it today.

      Yes, but the question is why the overlords choose to do this when it doesn’t benefit them in any way.
