Why is working harder making us more pore

Saved for later. But overworked is going to be misrepresented I'll bet. Half these people today don't know what hard work is and Im not talking about physical labor. They don't work 20 minutes out of every hour at work. It's like watching children in kindergarten where their minds just wonder and they are chasing butterflies and picking flowers and then realize they need to do something....
but I'll watch in the morning.

Retired? Not yet.
Hanging it up to chop & sell firewood? Maybe.
Interesting video though especially for someone like yourself that puts in an honest day’s work.
He just took a sabbatical to build his power level back up.
I’d like to know when this sabbatical starts?
What did you think?
Good video but I do disagree slightly. They point out every single thing people do today as work. They look back then and seem to forget that a woman at home wasn't using modern tech to wash clothes or to clean the house. I remember my grandmother washing clothes with an old open top washer and then hanging the clothes outside on a clothes line to dry. She also bought live chickens to eat which meant she had to kill and clean them. She would buy a part of a hog that she would butcher herself.
My grandfather had a push rotary mower. If the grass got above 5" tall it was a fucking chore to cut... so he had to run that thing twice a week during summer when we got plenty of rain. Most people don't do any maintenance anymore. He always changed his families oil and fixed any breakdowns himself. They did all their construction too. Anyone in the family that built a house or barn was built by the whole family and friends.
Granted, this guy is talking about urban areas in the 1900's. My family was rural just outside of an urban area. So while they worked a factory job they went home to a farm that they still had to work. Usually you'd have 1 or 2 people that just farmed and 3 to 5 that had a job and helped the brothers or cousins.
I get what he's getting at because I've gotten calls at home at really shitty times. I just don't think he realizes how easy "life" is compared to back then. Our mental state is probably wayyy more active now as there was less stress on a base level back then. To me the biggest difference is stress.

I don’t disagree with what you are saying but that’s relatively subjective.
I appreciate his approach because it’s facts and math. None of that “we walked up hill to school in the snow both ways” stuff the older generation always does to the next.
It also interesting because it shows if we took on some of the German model then our country, and it’s people, would likely be wealthier and more successful than we already are.
Didn't watch the video but I disagree here, I work less but make more money the older I get.
Gotta watch the video.
It’s a mathematical break down involving economics not some sorta cry me a river bullshit.
I’m a nerd I’ll admit it.
