I have noticed that I switch night and day cycles during summer because it’s too hot to function in the day.
The earth is getting hotter each year due to capitalism. With how capitalism works, capitalists aren’t going to slow down or give a second thought for nature. At a certain level AC won’t be enough and workers will end up collapsing or dying… Which lowers production, so I think that maybe in like 5 or 10 years (if not now already) we’ll see some push for night shifts because it’s colder in the night, burning the earth without affecting productivity. Will also limit chilling to lit up private properties that require payment or full of consumables like a Walmart because it’s safer than idk sitting in a public park at 3 am. This will probably get spun around as a revolutionary good thing or something.
Well, they are discussing a “Siesta” in Germany right now, where workers need to take a mandatory, long, unpaid break in the middle of the day, because it’s too hot to work: https://lemmy.world/post/1706963 (in german)
I hate that so much. I want less time for work and more time for life.
Imagine having to spend your free time during the heat, so that you can work when it’s cold. You are losing your free time twice! You can’t even spend it. If it’s too hot for work, it’s too hot for free time.
Well people who are too tired to live are too tired to question the status quo, too tired to even care about theory and are thus perfect for the ruling class
