And with a straight face y'all are gonna say that medieval peasants worked 150 days a year?

It is a known fact.

Destroy capitalism, return to feudalism.

Anywho I could see some working only that much, most were just farmers or tradesman like a blacksmith and you can't really grow year round or you didn't need to make shit year round.

Also they didn't really have stuff like us for all the different littles things we have and all the people to produce for takes more time and more manpower.

Labor didn't really spike until industrial revolution which was conveniently displayed on that graph.

I actually am fine working more if it means less slave labor.

Tried to use stackexchange as a source? Lmao

Also this is from 2013, 5 years before the claim of a book in 2018 being the source.

He's prob thinking of that article posted a while ago where they said peasants worked less than modern people. Ignoring that it was backbreaking labor back then, and all the house hold work you have to do just to prepare a meal and clean.

If you want the standard if living of living of the hunter gatherer, I'm sure you can get that and more with 3-5 hours of hunter gatherer work.

Not to mention that the 150 days or whatever everybody likes to quote is just the mandatory work period a villein (a type of serf that was higher in status than a slave but much lower than a freeman) had to do for the landlord in exchange for a plot of land such as working as a farmhand at the lord's own fields. One still had to do other work such as tending to their own fields and livestock just to make a living as they weren't given any wages for this work but still had financial obligations to the landlord in the form of taxes and rent.

Thats so wrong its hilarious. For over 90% of human history we worked 3-5 hours a day as hunter gatherers. Laborers in ancient Egypt worked 8 hours a day like we do now, and they had two days off per week, too, but also had way more holidays off than we do. They only worked an average of 131 days a year.

Free Romans only worked 6 hours a day, and only half the days of the year. They also had slave labor though, which is why the free Romans got to work so little, but still they were also the majority.

Medieval English peasants worked 8 hours a day, but only 150 days a year. 17th Century French laborers worked 10 hour days but only 185 days a year.

Native Americans worked 10-15 hours a week.

Historically, people worked FAR less than we do now. Only compared to the early industrial period did people work more than we do now. Capitalism got you all fucked up.

A 90 minute commute is rough. I did 75 min for a year and it was the most exhausting experience. Now I have a 15 min commute and its so much better.

Main point of this should be to become extremely aggressive in building more housing and public transportation so that people can afford to live closer to where they work.
