I have another idea for a future show you might do talking about sleep. I do notice that one of the ways that many people cope with the long hours and ever increasing long commutes is by cutting back on sleep. This must have enormous on a person’s emotional well-being and physical health, as well as being life-threatening in some occupations. I do recall that Professor Wolff has commented previously about the implications of airline pilots taking two jobs, and so on.
This also brings to mind that there has been an increase in the use of sleep aid drugs, and I’d be interested to hear more statistics and discussion about why and where these are being used the most, and what the consequences are.
Thanks again for this great program, and for taking the time to make something which speaks so strongly to many of us who are upset with the system.
Please educate yourself, professor, before you lead (or mislead) any more public discussions about Mondragon. The following short article is a great place to begin:
