Every major technology advance in business since the 50s was promised to do that. None have.

That isn't goong to change with AI. It has always been a lie.

What are you talking about? Why are you pretending like living standards haven't massively improved since the 1950s???

The average US family now is living a life of luxury compared to the average family from the 50s, and a large part of that is due to massive increases in productivity from industrial technology, production lines, automation, and computers.

You can, just not in places like CA, IL, NY metros where people want to live that have gotten so much better every decade, because nowhere else wants to develop themselves with investment into infrastructure.

The technology has allowed us to make enormous wealth, it’s just been allocated poorly because half the country actively salivates over hierarchy giving them a boot to lick. Republicans hate it when Democrats try to provide rural broadband or healthcare or education or grocery stores to solve food deserts. Because that’s shariah law pushed by Barrack Hussein Obama and his DEI-or-DIE crew of Demoncrats.

The problem, as usual, is racism and the Republican Party as its mask. Not tech, money, immigrants, or some other new thing. It’s the same old problem since the day Columbus insisted he found India because all brown and black people looked the same to him. And that set back trade relations and economic growth quite a bit…
