    That’s perfect, hook up the remote control electrodes before they’re cold. Nice, another zombie worker doing 20 hours of hard labour, 7 days a week. For gruel!

    Remember to go for the head, they’re not getting me - Dead or alive!

    Exactly my point. When options for working more appear, there is more room for pressuring people economically, and they all end up working more.

      Its another reason I would rather be older than younger. My janitor dad owned what I would call a castle (it was beat up but huge. something like the begining of caddy shack where the main character lived) and my mom could devote 40 hours to a combination of housework and errands and managing the kids.

        I’m afraid that if the things keep going as projected (and such technologies will help), our kids would be super envy of us having a mortgage-funded place of our own to begin with.

    True.

    But while unions are incredibly important, their achievement can be quickly reversed the moment they lose the grip.

    Better not even start with technologies that can easily be turned against us.
