I’m opposed to it because improvements in technology should make things easier. They should create a shorter work week for the work force and increase pay. Instead they only force us to produce more in the same amount of time. The average worker today produces more than ten times what the same worker produced thirty years ago, yet they are paid less when you account for inflation and must work more. Finally the increased profits from all of this should be making everyone’s lives better and instead it on makes the rich richer.
