Our Ford, hallowed be thy name.

Make sure to thank him for the unhinged antisemitic conspiracies too.

Why? The Ford Motor Company literally tried crushing unions. And unions made the 40 hour/5 day work week.

I remember working from 6 am to 6 pm. Who actually needs to see the sunlight? 😭

A video about the historical work-day one of my favorite YouTubers (Historia Civilis) released a few months ago, I think everyone should watch it: https://youtu.be/hvk_XylEmLo

His videos about Roman-era politics & important battles are also great :)

I work 3rd shift. The less sun I see, the better.
