Someone keeps stealing from the workers
@catdad I heard it's the refugees
@nivatius i 'm not sure this graph is relevant. How do you link productivity and money?
@tuxicoman you should get payed more if you produce more, don't you think?
@nivatius it depends if the amount of money available to share is the same or not.
@tuxicoman amount of 💰 in circulation is increasing. But if you think it's fine the way it is. That's fine with me.
@tuxicoman @nivatius no that's wrong.
wage part of productivity isn't linked to monetary mass because productivity means the amount of money gained selling what have been produced divided by the amount of hour.
Also I guess the graph is in stable dollars, getting out any effect from inflation.
@nivatius My understanding is that elon musk fills at least half of that theft triangle
@lupine

@nivatius
@lupine together with Jeff besoz I reckon
@nivatius golly, that's my entire working career. Now how am I supposed to get motivated to go to work?
@jannamark if your work is unification of workers you might be very motivated by this graf
@nivatius Productivity does not necessarily mean quality of work. Low paid work equal shit work
@klikoo younthink that happened in the 1970s?
@nivatius Maybe (but I'm not an economics historian). Maybe it's related to outsourcing more and more tasks to service companies?
@klikoo I argue that the social contract between the employers and the workers has been cancelled in the 70s it was: "if the company does well so will you. So our interests are aligned."
@nivatius Yes, the banks.
