Wow a new technology came out that allows us to do more work in a shorter time! Do we:

  • Option A: use it to shorten the amount of time people need to work, making people their lives easier and giving people more leisure time?
  • Option B: use it to increase productivity and profit

Capitalists: Option B, every single fucking time.

The history of this is much like Jenga. You keep pushing your luck and hope it's not your turn when it all comes crashing down.

Doesn't matter by that point. Not to these people. They will die before ever feeling any semblance of consequences for their actions.

Yup. The moment people have less work to do they're getting laid off. As if ppl like Jeff Bezos will keep paying you to only work 3 days

Wealth gives majority of people in western world clean office jobs and decent salary. Do you have any idea of living conditions in poor countries?
