    Didn’t labor unions collectively bargaining give us? the weekend? If capitalism had its wish, children would still be pulling 18 hour shifts in factories for slave wages...wait.

    that would solve the drug problem...
    everyone would know where their kids are...
    Profits would rise for investors...

    "But it's not capitalism that's doing this dirty work. The decline of the weekend comes from the decline of religiosity, and the fact many Americans would rather work more — so as to buy more goods and services — than enjoy leisure time."

    The irony is thick. It's not capitalism, it's the free market.
