totally agree. I remember in the '90s, we were told that because of technology, we would have way more leisure time and everyone wouldn’t have to work so hard.
The exact opposite happened as productivity skyrockets and wages stagnate. it’s time to fix that with a 34 hour work week!
Good step, but let’s get that down to a 32 hour work week with no reduction in pay.
Most jobs that are OT exempt have been shown to be more productive with a slightly shorter work week.

We’re literally never going to have that utopia as long as we maintain this “ownership class.”
We “don’t deserve” the fruits of the increased productivity because they came with the technology and machines that the ownership class owns.
“They deserve the profit because they paid for the machines.”
We will literally never have that utopia because the workers don’t own anything.
But that’s socialism /s
It wasn’t just the 90’s. That’s been happening since the Industrial Revolution.
Hell how many stories have there been of people getting fired for automating their job haha.
But then billionaires wouldn’t be so stinking rich if we did.
