I remember working from 6 am to 6 pm. Who actually needs to see the sunlight? 😭

Our Ford, hallowed be thy name.

Make sure to thank him for the unhinged antisemitic conspiracies too.

Why? The Ford Motor Company literally tried crushing unions. And unions made the 40 hour/5 day work week.

A video about the historical work-day one of my favorite YouTubers (Historia Civilis) released a few months ago, I think everyone should watch it: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo

His videos about Roman-era politics & important battles are also great :)

I work 3rd shift. The less sun I see, the better.

You do realize that it was invented by people fighting desperately for work to not be 10 hours a day 6 days a week, yes?

Nah, man. Satan is the man who made 8 hours a day look like a fantastical demand back then.
