@magni.fy: The 40 Hour Work Week is a Scam? #historytok #jobs #work #society Technology keeps getting better and better… so why doesn’t this translate into more time off, less stress, or a better quality of life for workers?

capitalism: despite productivity rising the workers are expected to work more in order to make up for the time they dont have to spend working to produce the same amount

Soooo as productivity increases, the low and middle classes don't benefit? Their housing, gadgets or food doesn't become better over time? Phones, TVs and cars haven't become cheaper?

In a very simplified way, by improving your effectiveness by 2x, you’re basically decreasing the cost of your labor-power by 2x. So the capitalist can increase the profit they extract from you by 2x. This is discussed in Capital, chapter 6 (“Buying and Selling of Labor-Power”). Cool how the rules apply even almost 200 years later

“For the same pay” is wrong. They got paid WAY more if you compare the value of money along with the cost of living then and now

40 hours for one week isn't a lot actually. It's a bare minimum. And then all the weekends and days off. On average people spend almost no time working these days.
