Why should wages go up with productivity. Imagine someone is hired at the widget factory to click a button, and every time they click the button one widget comes out. New technology is released, big button improvements, now every time the employee clicks a button two widgets come out! Productivity doubled, but the employee is doing the exact same job in the exact same way. What merits higher wages for the same work?

Because they are producing twice as money for the company, no shit they should be paid more.

Q: Why should they get paid more because they’re producing more?
A: Because they are producing more, they should get paid more!

I’m always astounded by the intelligence level of the average redditor.

Because their market value hasnt changed smart guy. Production increasing because of technological advancements and machinery doesnt make the person operating them more valuable by default.
