Let me guess:
It’s because all the money goes to billionaires.

amazing good maths
next they’ll be writing articles about “if i vote for jill stein becaue palestine. why do fascists stay in power” level maths
Who owns the means of production that make industris more efficient? Bingo.
I swear it‘s like people don‘t even know who or what Karl Marx is.
That’s a lot of words for “greed”.
Different system, same problem.
A rigged system is not a paradox.
It makes the class pyramid narrower and taller at the top.
Computers cost 92% less than they did in 2000.

The problem is capitalism
A statement without any meaning
Lol nope, it’s the direct result of an economic system that funnels wealth to the top
The reason is rich people.
Didn’t read the article yet.
I have a good friend who is homeless and begs for money. He says his life is much better than the life of the richest people of just a few centuries ago.
That’s not even true, even when accounting for the advance in technology, because your friend is likely dirt poor.
There are still lots of people much better off financially than your friend who work to keep wages low, work benefits low, and prices high. A daydream about the past doesn’t matter, because his and 90% of people’s material conditions are shit, and this financial and class oppression is what matters, not what fancy technology we have that makes us think we’re “kings”.
Food is very cheap and available everywhere. Clothing is basically free, and clothes are now easily high quality.
his and 90% of people’s material conditions are shit
Other people is richer than you does not mean your conditions are bad.
