>Workers in the beginning of the 20th century worked 70 hour 6-7 days weeks, now in many countries we are down to 35h / 5 days. In the next 10 years we will get to 30 or less, we are at a threshold of the 4 day work week that's why its taking longer to cut down on the work hours.

Go back to the 1970s and a lot of people were saying exactly this ^^^ word for word.

Instead we started working longer hours. The 'dream' never happened.



Right. For the dream to happen, we have to actively push for it, instead of just assuming it will happen on its own. There are plenty of powerful forces with incentives to maintain the status quo.
