Decline of Functioning Society

I don’t work a job that is the standard 40 hour work week right now. I’m more focused on how it affects people in general.
... agree, I think around 25 to 30 hours a week is ideal.
The problem isn't the amount of hours we work.

When you love what you do for money, or at least enjoy it to some degree, you can't help but put in 60+ hours a week. And when you don't feel like you've done the full 60 hours you feel "off" as if you've been slacking. When you are passionate about your work you can't wait to get up in the morning to "get to it," and you never count the hours you put in.

If you don't feel this way about work then you are working in the wrong domain/profession.

That is true, and this was discussed in this thread recently. But the % of people who love what they do and actually make enough to put food on the table, are very few and far in-between. This is about decline of a functioning society, and a large part of that is people forced to perform work they do not enjoy for 50 years.
 
Just saw this:

Only people with bullshit jobs (HR, management consultant, Occupational Health and Safety Co-ordinator, etc) sit around posting on Instagram etc because there isn’t 40 hours worth of work to do. Speaking from experience people with manual labour intensive jobs (unless they work for the government) rarely have a minute to scratch their heads at work because they are so busy.
