Thanks to increased ... ( 1 month ago by melosebrainuhoh)
Thanks to increased efficiency, the "Computers, Ipods, internet, cell phones, answering machines" etc of today can be manufactured at a relatively cheaper cost than the record players and B&W TV sets of the past. The appeal of industrializatoin is that the efficiency it demands produces constant improvements in output. Telling people to continue to work at this increased efficiency but not expect to reap more from it strikes me as rather... exploitative?

i believe ipods etc. are taken into account among the appliances. also consider that the cost of the appliances they had in the 70s has gone down, comparatively. if in the 70s a fridge costs for example 1/2 a monthly wage, now is more like 1/4. so even with new appliances (laptops ecc) now they still might be spending proportionately less on appliances than in the 70s. they had less appliances then, but they were proportionately more expensive. also now ipods etc. are seen as needs, not luxuries

This has nothing to do with the gold standard. Money doesn't need to be connected to a metal. It's a social system that can be engineered in a particular way if people are allowed to do so. Right now it's being used in as a means of domination, not social reward.

Are you insane. The country has been built on cars and the suburbs. There isn't any other option. You can't just spew 'lololol pull urself up by ur bootstraps noob' Ayn Rand gibberish at people and expect it to actually be useful. People are where they are for a reason. If all it required was just the Magical Unicorn Imagination of the Will to fix something by squinting really hard, it'll be fixed.

Problem is once the American middle class realizes this there will be revolution, and global war. National Socailits elites in India, China, middle east,like Hamas-Taliban want to subjegate the American Middle class. Why? Because unlike China or India, the government of America is still controlld by the middle classes(the people), and the small elites of other markets consider this a threat to their dominance of their own local markets and enslaved populaces. Should make good tv.
