The 8-hour workday is something the labor movement fought and bled for. "Immutable" my ass.

    Of course, but our working rights have been heavily eroded the last few decades (name me one person who strictly works 8 hours anymore for a livable wage).

    My comment was to say that I'm glad there's a hardcoded maximum to how long a day physically can be, as a stopgap to any further oppression

    ...that would be me. I work 37h/week and make 160% of the median pay in my country. I would say I'm definitely making a living wage.
