Is it? Because tech has created a lot of opportunities over the past 50 years, but we still have farmers working 70 hours during the harvest for a handful of $1400 paycheques. And the middle class continues to shrink…
- AnthonyMouse 3y agoBecause we keep foreclosing opportunities instead of creating new ones. Pass laws that make it harder for small businesses to compete with big ones, increase housing scarcity so people's wages go to landlords, professional organizations like the AMA pushing to restrict the supply of doctors which both makes it harder for people to become a doctor and raises healthcare costs. "Labor laws" like this are the worse-than-nothing they toss you to pretend they're doing something about any of this when they're really in bed with everyone screwing you.
