Middle class is losing… 40 years of declining real wages… But, Republicans will tell you: - You’re just not working hard enough. - you’re lacking dedication - you have no initiative - you spend your money & time on stupid immediate gratification stuff, like food.

As it’s all top down, let’s talk about how many hours the president sleeps, his work hours, vacation hours taken, etc. At the end of the day our executives sleep less, put in crazy hours and have no personal lives. Superhuman skills get the prime jobs. Period.

It's back to the Industrial Revolution … when workers were treated like Machines … they are now Clocking bathroom breaks and Measuring Mouse Clicks … Employees are disposable robots pushed to ever-greater efficiency ... run into the ground … then discarded for a newer model!

Have you heard of Jira? Story pointing? Burn down charts? Why do we have a 5 day work week? This isn't a new thing...

Worker productivity the main driver of capitalism, which you support.

Sometimes you’re sitting looking out the window thinking about something. Someone might look at that and think you’re not “doing” anything, but you’re actually doing your most creative thinking or simply resting in between times of outer productivity. It’s called being human!
