but it beats working 12h a day in the field to feed my familiy.

btw, people didn't work 12 h a day in the field

the long work days are a result of capitalism. yes, progress has increased average work hours, instead of decreasing them.

People back then didn't have Healthcare, cars or iPhones. I like all of those.

Communist countries work even longer hours, look for instance 996 in China.
