Sadly, 40 hours a week is no longer relevant in this era. Overworking is one of the main causes of depression and stress. We cannot consider 2-4 hours of driving, commuting, preparing, eating, taking a bath, etc as "play time".

That's always been something of a depressing reality for me. The average person has a lot more than 8 hours of their day allocated towards their job, and that time benefits nobody. It's wasted time, energy, fuel, etc. I don't personally have a job that could allow me to work from home, but I still think it should be available, even encouraged, whenever possible for those who can. It also really just seems like the logical direction that work life is eventually heading.

It feeds on itself too. So in order to stay competitive, the owner and the worker have to work more hours. More and more and more and more hours adding an efficiency when possible. When efficiency is added we add even more hours. And that's what human life is all about I guess. First class up in the sky Poppin champagne living the life. Total f****** b*******
