turns out capitalism is highly dependent on making workers produce an excess of value and then claiming that excess value for the owners! i wonder if anyone has written anything about that

It's also very funny, when someone shares the idea of a 4-day work week (while the wages stay the same as before during a 5-day work week) many are like "that is not possible, how should it be possible to compensate that?" And nobody ever says that about unpaid overtime. Which is a unbelievable high sum each year!
