the fact that you have to have owned a business to be allowed to have an opinion about working productivity to so fucking telling about capitalist ideology

How else are you supposed to intelligently judge whether a sweeping change like this will work?
work for who? because I can tell you how it will work for me and OP.

again, the metrics used are only ones that measure business ends, not human ends. human wellbeing is only a means to an end (production/productivity) in capitalism.

I'm not entirely sure what's wrong with that - as humans we are generally hardwired to productivity, especially in conservative environments that I grew up in.
yeah, i'm really disappointed in the overall level of responses tbh. there is definitely strong biases. from those who work a lot or those who own business or just a have a dogmatic capitalist view.

its hard to find a middle ground, as people in power are unwilling to shift their expectations.
