Yea no one wants to work at walmart and no one wants to shop at walmart, but hey look at how many walmarts there are. When people complain that there are no jobs they mean there are no meaningful careers, not that there aren't enough walmarts to work at.

Yeah, according to Keynes we were all supposed to have 15 hour work weeks by now... makes you wonder what exactly went wrong.

Keynes forgot about greed. He thought after making workers 2.5x more efficient the machine would be happy with still making 1x the product.

I really hope this isn't the ultimate answer, because if so, that's extremely disappointing.
