@Justicar this logic is flawed. If there’s no innovation or technological advancement there’s no new jobs at all.

Oh and the reason we don’t have better quality of life is because the government is underfunding scientific R&D. I’ll give you a few examples that came out recently that no one is talking about and are underfunded:

- plastic-eating bacteria
- oil-secreting algae
- induced pluripotent stem cells
- reversing cancer
- artificial cartilage
- anthrobots
- cows that produce insulin milk
