Original Note:
The eight hour work day was actually created by German industrialist Ernst Abbe who imagined "8 hours or work, 8 hours of sleep, 8 hours of being a human." Abbe died in 1905, 21 years before Ford's announcement. https://www.acp.uni-jena.de/ernst-abbe#:~:text=Abbe%20was%20also%20a%20co,and%20Schott%20AG%20to%20date. https://www.eah-jena.de/en/university/profile/ernst-abbe https://www.jstor.org/stable/2222539?seq=8
