totally agree. I remember in the '90s, we were told that because of technology, we would have way more leisure time and everyone wouldn’t have to work so hard.
The exact opposite happened as productivity skyrockets and wages stagnate. it’s time to fix that with a 34 hour work week!
They’ve been saying that since the 1950s. Thankfully our corporate masters figured out how to fill our lives with toil so we don’t have to endure the horror of enjoying them.
I used to work in construction. When I saw the first new tool demonstration, I thought, “Cool!” After the 50th, I thought “Great. Another thing to make working easier so we can just work more.”

But on the flip side, new tools are pretty cool.
But that’s socialism /s
It wasn’t just the 90’s. That’s been happening since the Industrial Revolution.
