At 80+ you
still get to go home. It gets hard when 130+ is required for
more than a few weeks in a row. My personal record is 152 work hours
When sleep is reduced, then it can have a negative impact on one's
health - talke a look, there's plenty of evidence out there in the
psychophysiological damage that this can cause. (e.g. the droves of H/J visa employees
being hired by
U.S. employers to replace U.S. citizens who won't work long hours for
peanuts). Perhaps we need to tar and feather a few politicians; can't
think of a much better solution at the moment.
The bulk of politicians seem unaware and take the claims of the high tech
industry leaders at face value. If you haven't called your congress critters
with your concerns, you should. If course, here in CA, your congress critters
won't listen to a constituent without a briefcase full of unmarked bills.
People in small states have more clout.
