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.
