Where this historical changes also aligned with decades of wage stagnation?

I'm not buy this shit anymore.

Most technological advances are economic enhancing innovations, society be damned!

The technology being developed today is consolidating wealth at the top. No one is getting from the gig economy.

Stock holders on the other hand? Doing amazing!

Or. It's entirely possible that the currency inflation is caused by something completely unrelated (central banks and government spending/lending) and you're confusing correlating events (the development of new technologies and decrease in buying power) with causation.

The top level Tax Rate has declined from 91% tax rate to 37% tax rate from 1950s through 2020s, and you blame technology for the failure of our society to redistribute wealth?
