<p>jimbo I tried to make this point before… </p>
<p>most (or at least a large percentage) of those who work 40 hours/week are getting objectively less ‘goods’ than the hunter and gatherers that lived before us. </p>
<p>this is probably true of hundreds of millions of people in China, don’t you think? most people are not smart and wealthy enough to go to college and get a degree and a higher paying job, which they could subsist on by working part-time.</p>
<p>The jobs that are available to a significant amount of people who are alive today do not ‘pay’ as well as the jobs available to our ancestors. they require longer hours for the same quality food/shelter.</p>
<p>that has to be true, doesn’t it?</p>
