Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea
TwilightVulpine@lemmy.world 10 months agoWe are very broken. Rather than improving, the working conditions of most people are declining, and pay isn’t keeping up with living costs.
I believe at some point people won’t take it, but right now I wouldn’t be surprised if people took two job rather than enjoy their free time. Many already do, because they need to.

this is more about an US problem, 10 years without salary adjusts,a and the shit house market, to be fair the house marked is a problem in other countries, like canada, but not the pay check, i’m not trying to start a fight or just saying USA bad, just showing that needing two jobs to live isn’t the norm, and you’ll as a USA citizens need to see that and starting demanding for better pay, and fix the issues of your countries, if other less rich countries can do that why USA can’t, please be safe

I’m not american. This is not an US-only problem, this is a problem of our wider economic system and corporate influence. Even countries that used to have better conditions are increasingly pressured to exploit their people in the same way.
