@Bongo_Stryker @wintermute_oregon Well this is interesting…that net productivity you cited is far below the rate of inflation over the same time period, which is 256.49%.

You’d think this would hurt companies, but naturally it hurts the people at the bottom most.

@Bongo_Stryker @wintermute_oregon I also calculated the numbers, the companies are actually slightly disproportionately disadvantaged. Productivity over that time period for companies was 24.9% of the rate of inflation, while hourly pay rose by 28.3% of that productivity. Not even a massive difference TBH. It doesn’t seem as unfair as it sounds at first glance.
