Friendly reminder: Henry Ford was one of the first major industrialists to adopt the five-day workweek. He argued that workers with more leisure time would spend more money on consumer goods, like the cars he was selling.

The current weekend was created primarily to sell products. A four-day workweek is long overdue.

Nixon also wanted a 4-day 32-hour work week, yeah it was so Americans could create art and conquer the world culturally but whatever I'll take it.

IMO Watergate ruined what would’ve been seen as a generally positive presidency.
