An aging population that values its free time set the stage for economic stagnation. Then came Covid-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine.

Well yeah, what are we waiting to work ourselves to death? Where this stupid idea of having free time came from? What the shareholders gonna think about it??
I suppose this kind of “journalism” has the only scope of making americans feel better.

Not literally though, y’all can do better.
“values its free time set the stage for economic stagnation”, those damned People wishing to not be slaves for the ultra wealthy are to blame, not the wealthy’s looting and corruption! /s
Was putting 10 hours a day in my work before all that. Still putting the same hours in. Have obviously less purchase power. I don’t see no free time in this… I even had to learn some crafts to survive the inflation so it’s even less “me time” than before…
Which country do you live in?
Belgium, southern part. So all in all our standard of living is good. Just less than previously :-/
Thanks. The more I learn about Belgium the less I understand it. I hope your situation improves!
I’d LOVE to see all these figures redone with medians instead of averages or totals.
Yep. Wealth inequality in the U.S. really skews the perception in a lot of comparisons from country to country when using average income
Americans are becoming poorer. 'Yes, We’re All Worse Off." A middle class overworked by its CEO set the stage for economic regression. Then came greedflation and federal rates increases.

“Then came Covid and russias war in Ukraine” bullshit. Then came capitalist interests seeing excuses to squeeze out the general population.
Fuck whoever wrote that.

Yeah no shit. Don’t depend on hostile countries for anything.
Well yeah, they don’t have enough young people to replace them. Did you miss the France protests?
We have automation and increased production to replace them. That’s what innovation is supposed to have done for society.
Like… wtf is this brain rot where we have produced productivity tenfold or more since the last generation and yet we try to tell people they can’t retire because there’s not enough workers to sustain it? That’s ludicrous.
Someone has to use those machines it is even proven that an AI system by itself is not good at all you need the ai in tandem with humans to ease and improve the tasks being done
You understand that I’m not talking about AI right? I’m talking about technology that improves production.
You do understand , Automation is provided by artificial intelligence which is a technology that improves production?
…you think automation requires artificial intelligence? Are… are you serious?
Bro probably thinks industrial revolution was because of machine learning, its better to ignore fools like this
I just have a hard time when I encounter just brutal unfiltered stupidity like this. Especially when it’s with a condescending tone. It’s like… I wanna give them a chance to explain because maybe I’m misunderstanding. But it always boils down into “no, this person is just a drooling moron.”
That’s frustrating to me. I want to believe people are better than that. And I know they can be.
You were right. I should have just ignored him lol
Not what I said. You implied ai doesn’t improve production, I am saying that it does improve it. Now I don’t know if you are just facetious
