>Productivity growth equals margin expansion

Productivity growth is the biggest lie in government statistics. 99 percent of the weighted growth is a result of calculations that say a worker is 100% more efficient if they are using a Pentium 600mhz machine rather than a Pentium 300mhz machine, assuming both machines cost the same. Advancements in speed and falling prices at two companies- Intel and AMD, are literally supporting the productivity numbers all by themselves.

I dont know about you, but I didnt notice everyone learning to type 100% faster, or use Excel 100% faster.

I have noticed prices skyrocketing for everthing from food to housing, though. If I pay 50% more for my apartment and 20% more for my food, am I 70% less efficient as a human?

(hint- the whole thing is a scam)
