    This is so uniquely depressing. They were accurate on my annual wage in 2024 yet they assumed I’d be working less than 40 hours 😭

      I think you misread that, because $40,000 in 1966 is roughly $385,000 in today’s dollars.

      Edit: conversely, $40,000 in today’s dollars would be $4,176.25 in 1966.

      With the 1966 labour share of income you probably would be working way less (or making way more)

      Is it really accurate? They wrote this is '66 about the year '00, which is 34 years. It’s been another 24 years since their prediction date.
