A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

how does this relate to inflation? like i know housing went up more than it should but that's still a more accurate comparison

I don't think the post said anything about inflation but I suppose it kinda relates because both things do cost more dollars than they used to.

Keynes predicted we'd have a 15-hour work week by now-ish. This was not the plan. Hell, we only adopted the Keynesian rationale after Tricky Dick ""temporarily"" broke the Bretton Woods Agreement in 1971.
