Mexico amends its constitution to cut the maximum workweek from 48 to 40 hours by 2030 and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss's
Who cares about productivity? Can’t people just enjoy life at the level our resources allow? Why people need to work most of the week anymore is a mystery to me. Or past the age of 45-50. I’m so god damn tired of the endless repetitive grind of meaningless work to create next year’s landfill…
While I agree with you in principle, I was thinking of their current standard of living in Mexico vs. (historically) the US, and trade deals with Canada and the rest of the world.
in case it’s not: you’re right. it’s well shown that a population that can actually rest and have some free time is much much more productive than a population that slaves away behind the counter.
Wow, their real achieved productivity is gonna go up nicely (if the studies are right about this sort of thing …)

i can’t tell whether this is satire or not

It wasn’t sarcasm, I was thinking of the trade they’ll do with nations that aren’t the US in the future.
Kinda like the end of that film where everything freezes.
