    I agree. However, to me, something feels wrong about companies making money selling a product to people with the promise that they work when they don’t actually do anything in and of themselves. It’s false advertising plus taking money out of people’s pockets.

    It’s not split in half, it’s reversed, which is why both are equal to S. If you just took half, then 1 + 2 + … would not equal 100 + 99 + … and so they both wouldn’t be equal to S.

    Instead of halving the list, they just reversed it and summed it to 2S later, which they then half. So no typo here.

    There are several ways it’s presented. But anything other than four 8-hour days with the same salary is just trying to pander to the rich people to make it more appealing to them. I personally would feel pretty terrible having to work 10 hours a day, and it would negate the positives of having an extra day off. It’d work for some people but it wouldn’t be a real win for the working class as it would be the same number of working hours even though productivity has skyrocketed in the previous decades
