    Like everything he says/does there is a slight truth buried deep in there.

    Some ‘workers’ really don’t want it. They are called corporate middle management. They don’t want the wage slaves to disrupt profit or crowd the spaces that they will be using because management will still take the day off.

      Nah, the people who don’t want it are hourly workers who are living paycheck to paycheck, which is tens of millions of workers.

      The sad truth is he’s right, but the reason is that for these people, missing out on $80 could be the difference between paying the water bill or not this month.

      It’s not that people love to work so much that they hate missing a day, it’s that they can’t afford to not work a day.

        There’s a big difference between “want” and “have to”… No-one "wants’ to work more, but many people “have to”.
