I know. I'm currently benefitting from yet another year of tuition increases. The price of gas is up. Rent? Up.
My question is: At what point to productivity increases start to become a bad thing for the average american? Is it possible for the u.s. to become so productive that we only need half of the workforce? What does the other half do? I know it seems like a stretch, but at what point is employment more important than productivity?
