“American workers have done their part, doubling productivity since 1969. How about producing a workplace worthy of them in 2006?” It sounds great, it really does but the increase in productivity is not due to the worker but to advances in technology. Not only can work be produced faster but with fewer people. There are no jobs. They don’t need you. Jesus!
