I mean a taxi driver is almost a perfect example of “work more get more work done and more pay)”.

At some point he crashes but it’s not at 40hrs.



And the driver can actually crash. Pilots have strict work rules for a reason. People die when pilots are too tired.

Is there variance in how long people can work without degraded performance? Of course. But it still degrades for most people.
