    “No man should have to work more than 40 hours per week!”

    “Yeah, that seems pretty reasonable.”

    “Women should be able to work for the same wages!”

    “Of course. We should all have equal rights.”

    “20 hours should be the new work week!”

    “I don’t know, man. Seems pretty leftist. It’s not like we nearly doubled employment.”

      Our grandparents earned enough as single earners to provide for their entire family and own a house.

      Now 2 people work and they can barely pay rent on an apartment.

      Its not hard to see why the right cries about the good old times, except somehow its the gays, and not the bourgeoisie that they believe are what caused the decline.
