Do you have any idea how complex the question is?

Can you think of any other reasons besides Evil Capitalism that productivity might begin to outrace wages after the 70s?

I'm speaking as someone who was able to the amount of design, drafting, and engineering that took a dozen or more people and even multiple vendors to do during the Apollo program. Do you have any idea how many jobs one full-up station of ProEngineer is capable of?

Oddly, I wasn't making a dozen times an Apollo engineer's salary at the time.

With a computer and three printers I handled presentation work on my own that used to take artists, photo typesetters, and print shops to deliver.

This is just a situation I'm personally familiar with. Multiply by hundreds of industries.

Odds are good this occurred to someone at EPI, but it wouldn't deliver the propaganda they needed, so it wasn't included in their paper.

Now, you can pretend not to understand what the hell I'm talking about. I'm not sure why I'm bothering to drag out another futile thread.

You didn't answer my question. What do you propose to do about the "injustice?" The centrally-planned nation EPI has pushed for years?
