Wouldn't this amount to basically working less hours effectively? Maybe that's the real issue here- the majority of people are forced to devote 80% of their weekdays on work and chores (10hrs work+commute, 30 min lunch at work but personal time ie unpaid, 1hr dinner+relax, 30-60min misc chores = 3.5-4hrs out of 16hr day remaining).

This seems insane to me but everyone seems to put up with it
