It's always interesting that people are quick to talk about extreme weather changes but rarely want to address the causes. I ended up watching a video that touches on the topic. I hate Mondays.

Everyone hates Mondays and everyone loves talking about how Mondays suck! You'll never have conversations about "fixing" Mondays though. That's because Mondays are just a fact of life. There will always be a day you have to go to work. Moving the start day or shortening the work week doesn't change the fact that everyone will still dislike the day their time off ends and their work hours start. You can't "fix" Mondays.

There are also people who think other social problems are just like Mondays. Unfixable. Of course they agree it's bad! But there's just nothing that can be done.

Drag thinks we can fix Mondays. Starting the work week wouldn't suck if the work week weren't so big. Women entered the workforce, so now there's twice as many people doing work. Each person should do half as much work. That's fair. The work week should be Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. Who would hate Mondays if you know it's all going to be over in two and a half days? It would still be hard, but you wouldn't dread it anymore.
