So like $69k a year, which isn't bad, per se, but in many cities that's still not enough to afford a three-bedroom apartment.

not after we make some changes to the cost of housing
thats why we gotta go all Mao on the landlords
69/hr actually comes to ~140k a year
edit: I'm dumb it's 20 hrs a week lol
That's a fair point, but if we're imagining a world with a twenty hour work week we can also imagine a world where life's basics aren't made unaffordable by capitalist greed.
Why do you need there bedrooms for yourself?
Because children shouldn't be forced to work so that we can afford their bedrooms
I think they assumed it was one person living in the apartment.
swearing, all caps, nitpicking
OH MY FUCKING CTHULHU, THAT IS NOT HOW YOU USE A FUCKING PIE CHART, THE VALUES AREN'T EVEN IN THE SAME TYPE AND WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERY HIGHER BEING THROUGHOUT HUMAN HISTORY DID YOU SCALE VALUES WHICH ARE CONVERTABLE (20h and 4 days) BASED ON THEIR LITERAL VALUE????
Chart good comrade 
We have nothing to lose but our chains.
Nice meme.
Unironically excellent
I'm down. Let's do this.
Why would there be a max on the working hours to 20 hours in a socialist society?
With the proliferation of automated production combined with a rapidly increasing population, limiting the maximum work week (where practically possible), that employers could force employee's to take (so not including voluntary overtime), could be one of many possible solutions to rises in unemployment, by artificially increasing the amount of workers a business would need to hire to maintain productivity, while simultaneously allowing those workers a greater amount of time to themselves to do with as they wish.
