I second this. We have access to vastly more powerful technology than in 1980 and the GDP of most developed countries is many times what it used to be. We should all be earning at least twice what we did, and we should be working fewer hours, with more benefits. The retirement age should be 60 or even 55 today, maybe younger, and social security should have kept up with inflation to pay more. All of this would have happened with unions and deciding in favor of labor whenever possible. Instead we did the opposite, and here we are in an unsustainable class war with the ugliest aspects of our past coming back to haunt us. I am all for ending labor as we know it and letting machines do most of the work. But humans must still be in charge, not capital/corporations/sociopaths/liars/lobbyists and so on.
