Don’t forget, when people have time and a little extra energy they will do things like vote, volunteer, develop themselves, improve their health, maybe run for office.
These are all counter to the strategy to run everyone ragged, keep them on the treadmill producing and consuming until they drop. People who are exhausted won’t fight back.
It’s amazing how even a 3 day weekend makes me more creative and energetic, and start thinking of my community and volunteering, then work comes back and i only look forward to the 5 hours before sleep again.
