Is exactly what rich exploiters of labor LIVE for. If you think working those long shifts make you somehow better as a person,did you ever ask why you did that and what you could have been doing if you had a choice,and were not afraid of bills etc. If you had to work those hours or else that is extortion.If an OR ELSE looomed over you, you were being indirectly,or maybe directly extorted for your labor with no concern on how it may impact your life or health.. The rich WILL work people to death wherever the rich can get away with it.With American workers and that dumb"puritan work ethic" being proud of doing long shifts no vacation ect..they set themselves up to be willing to be worked to death as if that was a good thing. Look at all the sleep disorders, stress disorders..rich people don't suffer that way,so why should WE? for the benefits for the rich,suffer,deny ourselves rest and leisure and work,work,work,our own lives away?
