That’s a solid decision by her.

Likely against the vast majority here, I think 40 hour work weeks are outdated and rather useless.
There’s nothing moral about working oneself to death.
Certain jobs are more time & task based, and some require intelligent decisions and skill sets.
Busy != productive
I’m not sure what the solution is with more powerful technologies becoming available, but the majority of adults are useless.
It’s an ugly thought. Maybe universal income, I don’t know.

Re: "The majority of adults are useless...Maybe universal income?"

I agree with you on both points.

Problem is, white collar jobs are many times more complex than farming and factory floors.

Farming in the USA took 175 years to almost completely automate.

Universal Income is still many decades in the future.
