Our ancestors worked 16 hours a day 6 days a week. Maybe we should go back to that just to be fair. My grandparents didn't have the polio vaccine better stop that too.
Common misconception, wrong though. During Industrialisation was the all time peak but today is still much higher than hundreds or thousands of years ago
So the people of the 1800s aren't my ancestors?
They're a very small minority.
Way more of my ancestors lived before 1800 than after.
Jesus fuck... don't give them any ideas.

Yes yes yes..... You give these fat cat bastards an inch and they'll take a mile. Efficiency is not for me. It's for the money man. Also, what type of efficiency are we talking about here?
Unfortunately, the last panel isn't happening in real life
Maybe they meant the 1800s?
No
Except, no?
Medieval peasants had SOOO many holidays.
It was a cheap way to keep them from violently revolting. Even then, it didn't always work.
Speaking of violent revolt against an oppressive system, where are we at?
Why does everyone think "ancestors" means medieval? The people I never met in the 1800s are ancestors too. So "Um ahkchually" right back at ya
Holidays meant "you don't have to work for the lord who owns your land", but since they were subsistence farmers in the middle ages, that meant they still had to tend the animals and do the work on their own plots. They were absolutely still working during their "holidays".
It is not the work but the pay...and the lord is always in the way.
I'm doing my part...
You shouldn't kiss and tell
To be honest, that's exactly what many "conservatives" today want. They would be better described as reactionaries than conservatives.
Regressive is the term you're searching for.
We'll all become peasants who serve a lord and we'll call it natural living
CEOs, "Sounds wonderful. Lets!"
They would be delighted about the lack of vaccines
