    Productivity has gone up, pay has remained flat or declined when adjusting for price increases. How is that not “working more for less?”

    And your read on the average lemmy user is inane. Most of the people I’ve interacted with want to do meaningful work and be able to live without the constant threat of homelessness, starvation, or death from easily preventable causes.

    If you do “enjoyable work” and get paid enough to have a personal life that is also fulfilling, bully for you, but the vast majority of people are fucking struggling.

      This guy thinks productivity has gone up because he personally works harder than the massive amount of people working 16 hours a day since the day they turn 14 a hundred years ago and not because of technological innovations hahahahahahahah

        Or maybe it has gone up because we have vastly more efficient machines and technology at our disposal.

          Yeah man. That’s what “technological innovations” are.
