I'll debunk it. This productivity is not caused by increased work. It's caused by more efficient tech. Your work is no more valuable.

So what you're saying is the owners of the tech are reaping all the benefits? Where have I heard that before?

    The updated chart grants perhaps the best visual depiction of rapidly rising inequality, with productivity gains failing to reach the everyday worker and instead funneling into corporate profits and the bank accounts of the wealthy.
