I couldn't help but think of George Costanza when I watched this. He makes it very easy to understand, though. See for yourself:

Plug your wage into the top one and change the years. According to this inflation calculator, my current wage is only about 13 cents more than my starting wage from 10 years ago.
Not sure if i'm doing it right but my wage is worth like $4 more from 10 years ago? Which is pretty much what I've got in raises.Ohhh lol so I have gained nothing lmao.

How many employees here will see $26.00? Wow.I got about 15.6 dollars and it only took me 30 years. lol When I started in 85 I was making about 10.50 an hour and 30 years later was making about 26 dollars an hour. lol

Living in Texas and living under that Right to work law can be difficult for workers. They can fire you for anything. A few years ago we had some employees fight back and won their law suit.
Along with being a Right to work state we have even more problems with cheap labor, Illegals walking across the boarder and doing very well for themselves with jobs such as Construction, Lawn Services, Painters, Housekeeping, Restaurants. They drive nicer cars than most who work at Fedex. People in the North have no clue on how bad it really is in these boarder states. Don't get me wrong, I believe in Legal immigration.
Sometimes I just wish Texas would Secede. lol

...he completely ignores the exponential increase in this society's standard of living that has taken place over the last 40 years...
Just to piggyback the original video worth a watch..
I wish people took the time to read Karl Marx. Everything he wrote about regarding capitalism has been true not just in some kind of thought experiment but in material results.
But, capitalism perversions come because its is inherently exploitative and channels wealth upwards into fewer and fewer hands and then collapse.
My iPhone retailed for around $600. It's over 1000 times more powerful than a Cray-1 Supercomputer, which was the baddest of the bad 40 years ago at a cost over $5 million.
But then there's always a contingent of people who prefer banging on things with rocks rather than using tools...
