For that to happen, society needs to be structured in a way that the benefits of greater productivity is distributed to everyone, particularly those most in need.
I sure as hell don’t see that happening anywhere at the moment. Productivity has grown steadily since I entered the workforce - my paycheck sure as hell hasn’t reflected that.
The metal straws I own came with a brush that’s the right size to clean them.
I think it entirely depends if the next wave of democrats in charge of governance make any kind of considerable effort to embrace the working class and improve the economic conditions for the average person. As time has shown, they just never fucking do when they’re in charge. That’s why the pendulum keeps swinging further and further to the right - the democrats promise better and cannot remove themselves from their corporate donors enough to actually improve the country for the average person. So when their lives continue to get materially worse under democrats, voters once again swing to the right hoping for a change, only for things to get worse faster and the cycle to continue.
I’m hoping things are bad enough this time for democrats to actually do something. I’m not holding my breath, though.
Mate, the article links to the study, rather than be pedantic about the title you could read the study and figure out how they did the math yourself.
