With all the tech-fueled multipliers on productivity that economists and market analysts have been touting over the past decades (not even counting LLMs), one might imagine that there's plenty of money going around to sustain a healthy margin with reduced working hours (or at the very least, the same amount). Seems like a lot of that "surplus value" just disappears or flips negative for many of us, though. It's almost as if a huge chunk of it is being diverted elsewhere beyond our reach. Wonder where that could be?Where has the bulk of all that "value" our work has created in this industry gotten off to? I certainly see less and less of it these days.
