ARE WE WORKING MORE THAN EVER? THE DATA SAYS NO
Over the last 150 years, average working hours have significantly decreased, particularly in the world's richest countries.
In the late 19th century, many workers endured over 3,000 hours annually—roughly 60–70 hours per week.
Today, that number has been halved in nations like Germany and the UK, thanks to shorter workdays, weekends off, and increased holidays.
The decline reflects rising productivity and labor laws, enhancing economic well-being and work-life balance.
But disparities remain.
For instance, South Korea saw increasing hours mid-century, while countries like China still face extended working periods.
The historical data challenges the perception that we work harder than ever.
Quite the opposite: we’ve made strides toward a more balanced life.

🇺🇸DEMOCRAT ORG. BUSTED REGISTERING VOTERS WITHOUT PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP
Poder Latinx, a Democrat organization with a "desire to build political power for Latinos nationwide," is leading a campaign to increase voter registration in key battleground states.
They were filmed registering voters outside a DMV in Phoenix, Arizona, without requiring proof of citizenship.
Instead, they told prospective voters they only needed to show a driver's license, despite the fact that it doesn't prove citizenship.
They claimed that only U.S citizens could get driver's licenses in the state, which is incorrect.

PHOENIX is one of very few yachts in the highly desirable Sanlorenzo SD122 range available on the market today.
Rare opportunity in Asia, with the potential for a short delivery to a new Owner anywhere in the world!
Lebanonese in Hong Kong are staging this little and (most well dressed I have seen in the past 4 months) rally/gathering in Mid-Level tonight to show support for their families and friends back in their home country. Something is universal, together, stronger.
