Well they weren’t american so that probably explains most of it. God this country fucking sucks

Here in the UK, you are better off on welfare than working minimum wage.

Economic historians such as Nora Ritchie calculated that medieval peasants would only work up to 120 days a year due to fluctuations in the farming seasons and church sanctioned holidays. During these farming days the medieval peasant could expect to work from sun up to sun down.

During the peak of the farming season this would be 16 hour days, 6 days a week. Sunday was reserved for rest. However, historians have primary sources that detail that during these 16 hour days the work was not consistent.

The local church wanted to keep the peasantry happy. As such there were a lot of mandated breaks for medieval peasants throughout the day.

Fun fact, Church even condoned escortmaxxing: Saint Thomas Aquinas said "Take away prostitutes from the world, and you will fill it with sodomy". St Augustine argued that prostitution was a necessary evil, to prevent worse vices from taking root.

I love seeing cucks bring up the age argument, the average lifespan was about 60 years which is fine to do everything in life before you become too burdensome and senile.

Not to mention the 120 odd feast days in a year to keep people merry. Now we have 8 (in the UK)
