I should have said that "we are providing the maximum that we possibly can". It just seems like there's no marginal benefit to increased productivity right now.

I should have said that "we are providing the maximum that we possibly can". It just seems like there's no marginal benefit to increased productivity right now. There's lots we could do to hurt the human condition: we could always just put a bunch of people to work building weapons, and have those weapons kill a bunch of unemployed people. But if there could exist some grand new way to improve the human condition right now, the money and the jobs just don't seem to be materializing for that. And there's plenty of money and plenty of workers around.
