I think that’s why I’ve always been so resistant to having a steady job for long periods of time. I grew up with my dad always telling me that robots were going to do everything and life was basically going to just be chillin and enjoying things by the time I was his age. A lot of the technological things he talked about surely did come as he predicted, but the economics never changed, and have only gotten worse. I don’t know what he would say if he were alive to have witnessed it all but he probably wouldn’t have been so USA #1 anymore I’d like to think.

Even Keynes predicted sub-twenty hour work weeks back in his day by projecting worker productivity gains into the future. The productivity gains have been achieved, the reduction in working hours have not.
Capitalist realism.
