This is from the Carpe Diem site written by Mark J.
Perry. Manufacturing workers can now buy 11 appliances
with 152 hours of labor what used to cost them 886 hours
of labor back in 1959.



engineering and technology have created machines that have reduced the amount of work needed to be done by people.

We need to revamp the economic system so that __everyone__ can benefit from this, not just those that own the macinhes.

Everyone is already benefitting, as evidenced by the greatly reduced
number of hours of labor required to purchase the new appliances.
