Just because things were worse in the past doesn't mean they can't be better in the future.

You are very right, it's just that saying "whoever invented the thing that's better than what was before is Satan" is kinda unfair to be people who fought for the 8/8/8 system. The focus should be onto whom hinder or even regress progress

Yeah, a better sentiment would be "whoever is still demanding that we work the 8/8/8 system in the current economy is Satan. Our forefathers fought to improve working conditions, we should fight too"

But the text specifically says the person who made the last big improvement is bad for having done it.
