Quote
"An average worker needs to work a mere 11 hours per week to produce as much as one working 40 hours per week in 1950. The conclusion is inescapable: if productivity means anything at all, a worker should be able to earn the same standard of living as a 1950 worker in only 11 hours per week."

— Erik Rauch, Productivity and the Workweek (via maxistentialist)

This is about a month late, but some of my friends from Oregon made this awesome Octopi Wall Street comic. I’m incredibly proud of them - none of my friends have been internet famous before.
