If I only worked for 6 hours and 4 days I'd lose my mind. I've tried it and I didn't like it one bit. May be that's just me but I enjoy my work so much I wish there were 25 hours.
It's all work at the end of the day and it is not easy. It's hard but we get to choose the direction our life takes while weighing the costs, benefits and risks involved.
This is the crux of a state mandated shorter work week.
In Australia, the default is between 35 and 40 hours, 5 days a week.
Some people work more hours, some fewer. A proposal to change the standard wouldn't affect that arrangement.
People who enjoy working longer hours, say for a pursuit they enjoy or endorse, or like you to build up their own wealth at a much faster rate, likely wouldn't be affected by such a policy change.
I do hope you're not suggesting that your personal preferences should inform proposed policy changes like this?
This issues is about proletarian labor (rented by a capitalist in an employment relation) not petit bourgeois labor (applied to one’s own capital in an independent business.)
Servile and self-directed labor aren't the same thing.
In Norway at least, it's true that lots of people finish work relatively early - but only because they start work really early (6-7am)!
I had searched for the sarcasm in previous comments in our thread to no avail!
