#3As a former member of the U.S. Military, this sounds like the military, which controls all your time while you're member. That's why I got out.

yes, but you are very much mission driven in the military, especially in a small unit. For me, it was the bad mission set and not the sleep deprivation that personally drove me out.

#5Thought experiment.
What if the government mandated a 4 day work week for parents ?
Would companies comply or just avoid hiring parents.
I personally think a 4 day work week is the way to go, even though I don't really see myself having a family.

#6Samsung appliances are some of the least reliable. Yet they ask a premium. Same goes for their phones which are known to have no long term support or reliability.
I wonder if this finally caught up to Samsung. The Chinese brands are often just as feature rich, yet cheaper and just as if not slightly better reliability.

When teachers are also parents how will schools staff classes on day five?
Work week length might be an all or nothing proposition.

Would that really help parents? They're parents seven days a week.
I mean of course less work is better. But is there something about parenthood that would make a categorical difference that non parents would miss?

They would avoid hiring parents and the birthrate would collapse faster. Or, maybe parents would be expected to work even crazier hours on the day 4 days to make it up.
