the problem is that while productivity has gone up multiple times over in the past few decades, the purchasing power of the median wage has gone DOWN. Where is all that excess productivity going? No one wants to work anymore, which I suppose explains why we're seeing mass layoffs every few weeks? The problems of the poor are caused by the mass demoralization campaign spearheaded by sociopath billionaires who will not be stopped, as they control not only our social power structure but the media that declares what the public sentiment on the matter is. Extremely competent, well educated individuals have already attempted every "non-radical" solution to this problem, and it has only gotten worse. What are we to do? And for anyone who wants to tell me "it's okay because now you can afford a supercomputer in your pocket that would have cost a billion dollars in the 90's!", I would like to make it crystal clear that I would prefer food and shelter to an iPhone.
