    Because of all the advances over the past generation from email to AI have all combined to make the economy at least twice as productive as it was 30 years ago but we aren’t seeing any benefit.

    The years of leisure workers get at the end of their career should be increasing, not decreasing. Where are all the productivity gains going?

    “Oh, but people are living longer” OK, but we’re also generating twice as much wealth over our careers than the generation before us, and instead of more retirement years or shorter working weeks all we see is billionaire pricks buying up media conglomerates.

    Good luck to the French people. Keep it up. Get angry.
