The time-saving gizmos that Benjamin Franklin predicted are here
But rather than liberating anyone, they've become a clever disguise for corporate greed to sneak ever more work into our days and evenings. Few subcultures revel in staying at the office after hours so much as Silicon Valley engineers. But who really benefits from their late nights of coding?
It's probably the same people who prevent Silicon Valley's underlings from forming a union, who also:
* don't have any objections to a single mother working two jobs,
* expect you to check email at all hours of the day and night, and . .
* say we need more growth rather than let the unemployed share our workload and thereby lighten it for those of us already employed.
Those who believe these lying profiteers from on high, and who, deceived in this way, neglect to organize with their co-workers, are stupidly stealing a shorter workday from themselves.
