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?
Yeah tuition is going to burn a lot next year, if I get excepted into the PUBLIC college of my choice it is going to run me 20K, up 30% from last year. That 20K isn't for a posh dorm either that is the three person no-space dorm.
