This is something that has enraged me for years. If a household has two breadwinners instead of one, then it could be twice as wealthy, no? NO! Nowadays most households need two breadwinners, just to scrape by. When I was a kid, I welcomed automation; robots, computers, machines. I thought these things would help us, and free us all from wage slavery. That's not what happened; the automation certainly increased our productivity, but that just ended up meaning that we were expected to produce more for the same reward. Automation should have meant that we could all be free. Didn't work out like that. Automation has disappointed me.
