In the US at least we have used every technology that increases productivity to keep hours of labor constant and make the rich richer. Millions of Wal-Mart workers have to do a year of hard labor just to earn the cost of a set of new tires for the CEO's 10th supercar.
> Millions of Wal-Mart workers have to do a year of hard labor
Working at Wal-Mart would be miserable in many ways, however nothing I've ever seen their employees do is even 10% of what I'd call "hard labor". Probably even their warehouses are not even close to farm/ranch/factory labor people associate with that term.
These jobs are not hard on the back, they are hard on the soul. Tilling a field can feel rewarding at the end of the day. Dealing with the living nightmare that is most Walmart shoppers is soul crushing.
Your viewpoint is rather callous. Just standing on your feet bored out of your mind can make even the most hardy miserable.
Agreed. I don’t know if I could be on my feet 8 hours a day like when I worked retail. When you work in a big box store it’s easy to walk 8+ miles a day.
If the Walmart employees aren't needed, Walmart would just fire them. They're still there because their work is still required, as people are continuing to buy more stuff from Walmart. It's not some conspiracy to keep hours of labor consistent, the workers aren't getting paid 8 hours just for no reason.
First of all the LM002 is not what many would call a "Supercar". At least not modern day. An actual supercar, the Ferrari 296GTB, uses Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires, the same tires you would put on a Porsche. Or your WRX. Further I looked up the CEO of walmart, he doesn't drive an LM002
Even the Lamborhini Revuelto uses Bridgestone Potenza Sport tires which clocks in at about $500/each
