I wonder what they do for a job, and i wonder how many hours a week they work.
I would imagine its less then 38 a week.
They are a popular streamer, based on her usual content this take is most likely satire
It's 100% satire.
Yeah, but you only work 60 minutes every hour, they work a lot more you lazy socialist!
You don't NEED to wash your hands between surgeries, the practice is only ~100 years old
Women don't NEED to vote, the practice is only about ~100 years old
Theyd agree with you probably
This is the kind of epiphanies she gets while eating her favorite cereal: 
You clearly don't follow her channel, this is definitely satire
I'm glad, but you're saying it like you'd expect that everyone follows her lol. There are in fact literally tens if not hundreds of millions of content creators that I don't follow 😁
It's just one of those examples that helps us realize how extremely easy it is to misinterpret information without the appropriate context, yet we consume endless context-less content and all the time our brains assume we know the meaning and assigns some kind of judgement on the information or person, but without that appropriate context we really have no idea whatsoever, but we're constantly building a worldview based on what we're reading and seeing even though we really aren't getting it right at all. Isn't that just a mind fuck?
Anyone who beleives this clearly hasn't worked a 6 or 7 day work week. That shit grinds you down until there's nothing left
I used to work as a utility locator. I was the guy who would mark the lines in your yard when you "Call 811 before you dig".
The company I worked for was so badly managed that I'm shocked they haven't gone under or been sued out of existence, but it may have just been this one regional office. They expected everyone to work 12 hours per day, six or seven days a week, and when it was your turn on call, you would be working all night. It will wear your mind down like you wouldn't believe. I worked there for a year. I almost lost my wife. A long-time friend died, and they told me I couldn't go to his funeral. (I went to the funeral. I had figured out they couldn't afford to fire anyone) I very nearly crashed the company truck a few times from lack of sleep.
What finally made me see sense and go find literally any other job was one night I was trying to get to sleep, and there was a police helicopter flying back and forth over my neighborhood. They were flying around when I had to go out on a call at 11 pm, and when I got back home at 1 am they were still flying around. I found myself seriously considering shooting the helicopter out of the sky just so I could get an hour of sleep. I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to shoot at anyone. But I had not been able to get more than a half hour of sleep for two days and I wasn't thinking clearly.
I feel you. Lack of sleep will make you an angry motherfucker.
Pretty sure having the 7th day as a rest day is a lot older than 100 years.
Ofc such a shit take would come from a fucking Facebook user
Everything about it is perfect. The shitty take, using threads, the cringy profile picture.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was fake, but it probably isn't.
It's satire.
100 years ago, this woman's opinions would not have been permitted in mixed company.
If you remove free time, people spend less money on entertainment, trips, restaurants, museums... Whole economies depend on that.
It's not about the economy, it's about widening the class gap and inflicting suffering.
My mind goes to that snippet going around some time ago about peasants having 100+ holidays a year.
Like, yeah. People need ample time off. Even feudal lords knew their surfs needed time off.
You also don't need a job.
Not only do I need a weekend, I need a day between Saturday and Sunday!
I vote to make Monday that day
4 day work week ftw
Can we push that to 0 day. We can take our time, just let's do it in my lifetime. I'll do the creative thing I want to do when I don't need to work
And women don't need the right to vote! We don't need to ban child-labor, or even slaves! We don't need any laws about health or safety at all!
I realize I'm falling for the rage-bait... but fuck outta here with that nonsense.
Sssssatire
Let's check in on what was going on 100 years ago, see if weekends are doing any good...
Oh yeah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1917–1923
I think he's the reason why his momma cusses.
You’re right we don’t need a weekend. Just like you don’t need to sleep.
Should we let mommacusses know how old Internet is?
Sigh. Oh, sweetie.
Saaaaaatire
Shut. Shut.
This is exactly the kind of take I expected to see on threads
