A short talk by Chris Collins highlighting how modern family dynamics (dual-working parents, varied household arrangements) have reduced free time compared with 20 years ago. Collins argues that because people have less weekday availability, they must rely on weekends—Saturday and Sunday—for car repairs and maintenance, implying businesses should stay open then.
In this world that we live in today is how many times do you run into a family where mom stays home and dad works? It's very rare these days. Okay, so mom and dad both are working. If there is a mom and dad, might just be Mom. Yep. And dads who knows where, or dad and mom soon, who knows where, some sort of Brady Bunch type situation where, you know, the kids are coming and going and this sort of thing. Thing. But how much time do families today, how much time does the average person have? Do they have more time or less time than they had 20 years ago? Way less. Way less. Right. And so then when do, when are they available to get repairs done, maintenance on their car, that sort of thing? When, when are they available to do that? On the weekends. Yeah.
