Americans work too much as it is. Ideal situation would allow the average American to kick the fuck back and work 30-40 hours a week while being comfortable. This would of course require a bit of deflation.

Why is “productivity” vs enjoyment of what you have the be-all and end-all of society anyway? What’s wrong with a country of happy lotus-eaters?

Life in this country is already too risky and stressful for the average person with no safety net to speak of! Why make this situation worse?
