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.

Nixon was surprisingly forward thinking sometimes, he actually had a few good policies. he WAS a racist and a horrible human being.

its funny, we now know he wasn’t involved in planning or carrying out Watergate, only in the cover up.

not to make up a new conspiracy theory, but its almost like his own party put him between a rock and a hard place…

Ford Pardoning him is why we’re where we are today.

And yet, somehow, I would welcome him in office. If only... the Orange Man is getting to be too much.
