well how long ago was the 5 day work week established as the standard?

how long do you reckon it'll be before a 4 day work week is standard?

do you think an additional day off takes less time than the prior one took to get? the same time as the prior one? more time than the prior one?

i feel like you're getting way ahead of yourself and remarking on events that have only taken place in your mind.
