not only are you missing out on what makes life great and worth living w/ this arrangement, but from a strictly utilitarian standpoint, working that many hours your productivity plummets (unless you're on stimulants), and it's just straight up more effective to work fewer hours...

When 996 makes being able to afford a house easier, many people will be compelled to do it.

Yeah and that's a dystopian dogshit reality to aim for. (Not necessarily implying you are saying that)

It makes affording a casket easier.

Why do you need a nice house you cant spend any time in with that schedule

What’s the point in having a house if you only spend one day in it, which realistically you will spend doing chores and sleeping?

China has this figured out. You pay a mortgage on a house that will never be built.

The stimulants don't help ultimately. You are just taking out a loan that eventually will have to be paid back. With interest.

china has the second highest home ownership rate and fifth highest owner occupancy (where the owner actually lives in the house) in the world, i don't think this is a very good example...
