"For far too long, the lion's share of the benefits from our increased efficiency has gone to the top, sidelining those who are at the very heart of this production. It's time to level the playing field, ensuring that our workers directly benefit from these advancements by offering them improved working conditions and an enhanced quality of life."

we could also work way less if we haven't had to pay for rent. build social housing and gov sell appartements for 50k€. people retire at 50. profit. also make highschool graduation at 15, and joining professional life at 18-20. 30 years of work, pay 700€ per month for a 70m², then after 7 years appartement is all yours. building complex should last 2 generations, then renovation. rinse and repeat.
