How much of that productivity is automation.  My guess over over 3/4 of it is because if automation and tools 

So? 

This is just an extension of the emotional, merit based argument.

My god....if you even so much as hint at experiencing any displeasure with any part of right wing nutballs crystal American castles of their red white and blue sacred cows........well it’s like you lit their fucking grandma on fire. 

It's dogma to them at this point.

Reality is irrelevant.

You know it looks exactly like that blue line. 

Honestly, how could it not? Worker productivity continues to rise while wages stagnate. The difference goes right into the pockets of capitalists.

No if a machine is helping my worker producing a product faster there is zero reason to pay said worker more money because of a tool I paid for .

If he's making you more money, you should, but because you fancy yourself a capitalist thief, you won't. 

Another worker built that tool, anyway.

Again not much to do with the acctual labor of said worker . If a working is working harder than the other guys I will pay them more . If I can buy a tool to make the other guy keep uo with a top performer there is zero reason to pay the slow guy more because I made his job less taxing

Again, how you feel about the worth of the worker is completely irrelevant and doesn't change the economic math. 

If you don't pay that more productive worker more, there won't be enough wage based demand in the economy to support that added production. That's exactly when debt is required to prop up demand, and exactly why wages stagnated while debt exploded.

How do you explain that inflation has steadily increased despite stagnant wages, with all your supposed common sense?

the only common sense he has is to sprinkle to colors into his oatmeal in the morning. little does the retarded fuck know the colors are lead paint and that's what's why he's so fucking stupid lol

Communists literally predicted this eventuality.

They say automation is what will lead to a transition to communism. The capitalists will automate the means of production and eliminate labor from the production equation. 

That's when the teeming underclass created by automation will start eating the rich and seizing the means of production. 

Capitalists are their own gravediggers.

Capitalism was designed to fail. Capitalism at its core is the insatiable pursuit of efficiency and there was only one way it could have ever ended.

Capitalism could survive a long time if capitalists had any foresight, but they don't.

They wouldn’t be capitalists if they did. There is no such thing as ethical capitalism.
