The U.S. is the Most Overworked Developed Nation in the World – When do we Draw the Line?
Using data by the U.S. BLS, the average productivity per American worker has increased 400% since 1950. One way to look at that is that it should only take one-quarter the work hours, or 11 hours per week, to afford the same standard of living as a worker in 1950 (or our standard of living should be 4 times higher). Is that the case? Obviously not.
Someone is profiting, it’s just not the average American worker.

All those in the fake ‘alternative’ media that promoted Trump as the saviour should surely apologise to those they misled. Some are now criticising him when they should have seen all along what he would do. Others are doubling-down to avoid saying the obvious: ‘I was duped (again) and duped you’ How many have apologised for being blatant propagandists for a tyranny so predictable it was pathetically easy to call?
