    technological advancement doesn’t allow you to work less,

    It literally has (When forced by unions). How do you think we got the 40-hr workweek?

          no, in response to human beings needing rest. the need for work hours was drastically reduced since, but nothing changed. corporations don’t care, they just want you to work until you die, no matter how much you contribute none of them is gonna say “you know what, that’s enough, maybe you should work less”. wage theft keeps getting worse.

            Yes, but that’s not because technology doesn’t reduce the need for working hours, which is what I argued against.

      That wasn’t technology. It was the literal spilling of blood of workers and organizers fighting and dying for those rights.

        And you think they just did it because?

        They obviously thought they deserved it, because… technology reduced the need for work hours, perhaps?

        Unions fought for it after seeing the obvious effects of better technology reducing the need for work hours.

          Stop after your first 4 words and you’d be correct but all your other words are just your imagination and you trying to rationalize what you’ve already said.

            Obviously I’m trying to rationalize what I already said, that’s how an argument works.

            I am arguing that better technology reduces the need for working hours.

            That’s it.
