      Under the current system “productivity” means making lots of money for your boss. If you work a job that’s valuable to society like being a teacher you still don’t get paid as much. Or if you’re an artist or you aren’t capable of working 40 hours a week you’re seen as a less productive member of society.

      Being a valued member of society shouldn’t be based on working two full time jobs because if you can afford to pay all your bills and buy a nice car and house then that’s proof of your success.
