Capitalism. Not tech.
Are these “fewer work hours” in the room with us?
That’s only for hourly workers. Salaried employees get the opposite.
Don’t worry, some get fired outright, so that’s technically less hours!
I can promise you it’s not for hourly workers
fewer work hours
Haha
Production per worker has continued to climb since the industrial revolution. Hours of work have never gone down.
They would work all of us 14 hrs a day if they could.
Whose getting fewer work hours?
It’s per job
Me, looking at man-made horrors beyond my comprehension: “What is that?” (I don’t comprehend it)
The important thing is the horror that we made along the way.
It’s not the technology itself but the evil/reckless people controlling/using it that make it so dangerous for everyone. Let me leave this here:
“The righteous need not cower before the drumbeat of human progress. Though the song of yesterday fades into the challenge of tomorrow, God still watches and judges us. Evil lurks in the datalinks as it lurked in the streets of yesteryear. But it was never the streets that were evil.” - Sister Miriam (SMAC)
Technology does empower or disempower those people depending on the details it has.
We are in a moment when it seems to be doing both. So those people are working very hard for their power. It’s up to us to change it to only disempower them.
Throw in infinite mindless distraction and you got yourself a deal.
