Adam Conover: Back then, most workers rarely had even a single day all to themselves. Luckily there were two groups who fought for the modern Saturday: Labor Unions...
Labor Union Rep: WORKERS RIGHTS! WORKERS RIGHTS!
Adam Conover: And Jewish People.
Jew: So it would be nice to take the day off to go to Temple, maybe visit your bubbe or what have you.
Adam Conover: And those two groups had an unlikely ally, the Founder of Ford Motor Company: Henry Ford!
Henry Ford: Yes, in 1926 I gave all my workers two days off a week, this inspired numerous companies to follow suit... Also, I know who is responsible for World War I: The Jews!
Jew: Oi...
Adam Conover: Henry Ford was super racist, and he despised Labor Unions. So he didn't change the work-week out of love for these guys.
Henry Ford: Correct. I did it for me! Overworked employees are less productive. And worse yet, have no time to buy my stuff. You there! Why aren't you out buying a car?
Ford Worker: I'm building one...
Henry Ford: FINE! Take the day off, and go buy a car. Ford Wins Again! MUHAHAHAHA!!
Adam Conover: Ford didn't give an F-150 about his employees leisure time, he helped create Saturday because he knew it would be good for business.
