Push back school, and you have to push back work (no, not everyone can work from home). And then you have to push back entertainment. And then everything else. And then you've changed the clocks, but in a worse, more complicated way.


Not everyone can work from home, but tons and tons of people can't work 9 to 5 either. We can instead start agreeing that the current system is pretty broken.

When I was in elementary school, my parents had to start work much earlier than school started (at some point my mother was a school bus driver. Kinds of rule that out no matter how much you shift the school day!). So I was just waiting alone for the bus for a few hours. It was boring as hell, not gonna lie.


We should push back work, but still end at the same time. We've been programmed to accept 9-5 salaried jobs (which is actually 8-5 or 9-6 for most people not including commute) but on a macro level it's been proven employees are receiving less and less of the pie. Fuck them, let's work less and enjoy more of life with ppl you care about.
