Look this if gonna piss some people off
But you don't NEED shareholders
The concept is barely 400 years old
You don't NEED to wash your hands between surgeries, the practice is only ~100 years old
Women don't NEED to vote, the practice is only about ~100 years old
Theyd agree with you probably
I wonder what they do for a job, and i wonder how many hours a week they work.
I would imagine its less then 38 a week.
They are a popular streamer, based on her usual content this take is most likely satire

Yeah, but you only work 60 minutes every hour, they work a lot more you lazy socialist!
This is the kind of epiphanies she gets while eating her favorite cereal: 
You clearly don't follow her channel, this is definitely satire
I'm glad, but you're saying it like you'd expect that everyone follows her lol. There are in fact literally tens if not hundreds of millions of content creators that I don't follow 😁

Anyone who beleives this clearly hasn't worked a 6 or 7 day work week. That shit grinds you down until there's nothing left
I used to work as a utility locator. I was the guy who would mark the lines in your yard when you "Call 811 before you dig".
The company I worked for was so badly managed that I'm shocked they haven't gone under or been sued out of existence, but it may have just been this one regional office. They expected everyone to work 12 hours per day, six or seven days a week, and when it was your turn on call, you would be working all night. It will wear your mind down like you wouldn't believe. I worked there for a year. I almost lost my wife. A long-time friend died, and they told me I couldn't go to his funeral. (I went to the funeral. I had figured out they couldn't afford to fire anyone) I very nearly crashed the company truck a few times from lack of sleep.
What finally made me see sense and go find literally any other job was one night I was trying to get to sleep, and there was a police helicopter flying back and forth over my neighborhood. They were flying around when I had to go out on a call at 11 pm, and when I got back home at 1 am they were still flying around. I found myself seriously considering shooting the helicopter out of the sky just so I could get an hour of sleep. I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want to shoot at anyone. But I had not been able to get more than a half hour of sleep for two days and I wasn't thinking clearly.
I feel you. Lack of sleep will make you an angry motherfucker.
You don't NEED anything besides air, water, sufficient nutrition, and protection from extreme environments.
My 5 year-old nephew told me yesterday that he needs a new Pokemon. Can you add that to the list? He really needed it.
Nobody expects the Maslow Inquisition! Amongst our needs are..
All but one of which are made expensive through artificial scarcity so that rich leeches can leech some more. And they're selling air too, just haven't found a way to legally limit access to it yet.
They can't sell it, but they can pollute air and then sell you "time off" on the clean air of their resorts, which is good enough
They can and do literally sell air. Because why leave money on the table, as exploiters are fond of saying 🤬
They didn't even bother to make it canned. Reality is truly worse than fiction.
Maslow would disagree.
Hey, Texas ruled you don’t need electricity either.
Pretty sure having the 7th day as a rest day is a lot older than 100 years.
What if I told you most of the world doesn't believe that at all.
Chritianity and Islam are the largest religions in the world.
Oops, meant to edit rather than reply to myself. See below comment.
To allow people to check: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_religious_populations. Together, Christianity and Islam adherents make up ~56% of the world's population.
As an atheist, I'd say you live in a bubble.
I believe the Abrahamic faiths, or societies created roughly from their rules, cover the majority of humanity.
What if I told you, that doesn't affect the date at all?

Ofc such a shit take would come from a fucking Facebook user
Everything about it is perfect. The shitty take, using threads, the cringy profile picture.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was fake, but it probably isn't.

100 years ago, this woman's opinions would not have been permitted in mixed company.
If you remove free time, people spend less money on entertainment, trips, restaurants, museums... Whole economies depend on that.
It's not about the economy, it's about widening the class gap and inflicting suffering.
We don't need screenshots from threads
My mind goes to that snippet going around some time ago about peasants having 100+ holidays a year.
Like, yeah. People need ample time off. Even feudal lords knew their surfs needed time off.
Not only do I need a weekend, I need a day between Saturday and Sunday!
You also don't need a job.
Licking that delicious, delicious boot
And women don't need the right to vote! We don't need to ban child-labor, or even slaves! We don't need any laws about health or safety at all!
I realize I'm falling for the rage-bait... but fuck outta here with that nonsense.

Let's check in on what was going on 100 years ago, see if weekends are doing any good...
Oh yeah https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutions_of_1917–1923
I think he's the reason why his momma cusses.
You’re right we don’t need a weekend. Just like you don’t need to sleep.
Should we let mommacusses know how old Internet is?
Shut. Shut.
