I’m reading (via AI) about how the working week (at least at some period in the middle ages) was only three days, and a serf could take his lord to manorial court over him trying to extend it to four days; apparently records show that serfs often won these cases.

Today, serfs wage slaves work five days a week, are pressured to work extra for free, and the rich win most legal cases.

The elites really did refine the system didn’t they?
